Synesthesia comes from the Greek "syn" (meaning union) and
"aisthesis" (sensation), literally interpreted as a joining of the
senses. Synesthesia is an involuntary joining in which the real
information from one sense is joined or accompanies a perception in
another. Dr. Cytowic reports extensive research into the physical,
psychological, neural, and familial background of a group of
synesthets. His findings form the first complete picture of the
brain mechanisms that underlie this remarkable perceptual
experience. His research demonstrates that this rare condition is
brain-based and perceptual and not mind-based, as is the case with
memory or imagery. "Synesthesia" offers a unique and detailed study
of a condition which has confounded scientists for more than 200
years.
