Synesthesia is a condition that causes people to experience color stimuli as sounds, smell stimuli as colors, or sound stimuli as tastes. Pick one of these three types of synesthesia (many others exist) and describe what happens in a person with that condition. Begin with the external stimulus and end with the person's description of the sensation.
Adi S.
In a rare condition called synesthesia, stimulation of one sense triggers the perception of another sense. For example, people with synesthesia have reported seeing bursts of color when stimulated with loud noises. Would you expect synesthesia to be a problem with sensory receptors, peripheral nerves, or the central nervous system? Explain.
