Synaesthesia: A Very Short Introduction

Synaethesia is a neurological condition that gives rise to a 'merging of the senses': those with the condition might experience certain numbers as a specific colour, or certain words as a taste. Simner describes synaesthesia's many forms, discusses its links with artistic creativity and lateral thinking, and delves into the underlying neuroscience.

Synaethesia este o afectiune neurologica care da nastere unei „fuziuni a simturilor”: cei cu aceasta afectiune pot experimenta anumite numere ca o culoare specifica sau anumite cuvinte ca gust. Simner descrie numeroasele forme ale sinesteziei, discuta legaturile acesteia cu creativitatea artistica si gandirea laterala si se aprofundeaza in neurostiinta subiacenta.
