Project 5 Perception Study: Synesthesia

Synesthesia, in the words of Dr. Oliver Sacks, “is an immediate, physiological coupling of two sorts of sensation.” This could be any two sorts of sensation, even smelling mown grass when hearing a certain sound. The most common form of synesthesia is associating specific colors with particular letters and numerals. H is purple! 6 is green!
