Summary

What is synesthesia?

Can you imagine a world where you can taste words, see numbers as colors, or hear sound as textures? This is how roughly 4% of the population experiences the world. And while we’ve known about this fascinating phenomenon for well over two hundred years, what exactly causes this unusual affliction still remains a mystery.

I’m excited to explore this topic with you today. Synesthesia is an intriguing neurological condition where the cognitive pathways of the senses become intertwined. That cross-sensory stimulation offers a unique glimpse into the inner workings of the brain.

Synesthesia is often associated with highly creative people in literature, music, and art. Their ability to experience the world differently allows for new and interesting ideas to emerge. Listen in as I talk about the different types of synesthesia, what the benefits of this phenomenon can be, and how you might put these insights to use.
