Description


about synesthesia
Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which a stimulus in one sense modality is involuntarily elicited in another sense modality. For instance, someone with synesthesia (called a synesthete) may be able to see sounds, taste shapes, or read printed words in color.
Synesthesia may occur in at least 1:2 people. In infant (and younger) humans, it may even be standard up until three months of age. It is also thought to commonly occur in other types of animals as well.
Both science and the public are rediscovering this exciting condition, which was well-known over a century ago, yet was ignored when behaviourism became the popular in psychology. With recent advancements in science and technology, more data is discovered about synesthesia every day. Further, with this knowledge, synesthesia may be helpful in understanding human consciousness, as well as something as straightforward as the different levels of human brain function.
