there was a very good public lecture about synaesthesia by doctor jamie ward at croydon cafe scientifique this evening
i've been interested in the crossover of sensations ever since a couple of entirely predictable and deeply stimulating encounters with non-prescription psychoactive materials several decades ago
what interests me also, is the possibility that synaesthesia is not just stimulated externally through the senses, such as hearing and touch, but also internally through the workings of the mind in response to moods and meanings, hence the quote at the top
do you have an opinion ?
as you might expect, there's an excellent introduction to this subject in wikipedia
