요약 | The author presents a primer on the neurological trait of synesthesia. One in twenty-three people carry the genes for synesthesia. Not a disorder but rather a neurological trait, like perfect pitch, synesthesia creates vividly felt cross-sensory couplings. A synesthete might hear a voice and at the same time see it as a color or shape, taste its distinctive flavor, or feel it as a physical touch. The author explains that synesthesia's most frequent manifestation is seeing days of the week as colored, followed by sensing letters, numerals, and punctuation marks in different hues even when printed in black. Other manifestations include tasting food in shapes, seeing music in moving colors, and mapping numbers and other sequences spatially. One synesthete says "chocolate smells pink and sparkly," while another invents a dish (chicken, vanilla ice cream, and orange juice concentrate) that tastes intensely blue. The author explores synesthesia as a spectrum, an umbrella term that covers five clusters of outwardly felt couplings that can occur via several pathways. Yet synesthetic or not, each brain uniquely filters what it perceives, and the author reminds us that each individual's perspective on the world is thoroughly subjective. |
