What color is Tuesday? Exploring the neurological world of synesthesia
In short: Discover how some people experience entangled senses, such as tasting numbers or seeing colors in days of the week. Neurologist Richard E. Cytowic explores this fascinating trait and why we might all possess a touch of it.
Synesthesia is a neurological trait where two or more senses are combined. This can manifest in diverse ways, such as a person associating a specific color with each day of the week or even tasting a number like 9.
Through this exploration, neurologist Richard E. Cytowic examines the intersection of these senses and considers the possibility that a subtle version of this phenomenon exists within the general population.
