synesthesia

A whole-genome analysis of people who experience color when they listen to sounds points to a handful of genes involved in neural development.

Ben Henry delves into the still-unanswered questions of where our musical preferences come from and what makes synesthetes tick.

Researchers investigate the unusual association of musical sounds with tastes or colors through the lens of another perceptual quirk.

Many people can “see” their hands in complete darkness, absent any visual stimulus, due to kinesthetic feedback from their own movements.

Meet the scientists and study subjects behind research into how senses work together to form perceptions of the world.

Researchers ask: Is there an advantage to getting emotional when touching certain textures, or seeing colors change when you listen to music?
