1.2 The word <CITE>synesthesia</CITE>, meaning "joined sensation",
shares a root with <CITE>anesthesia</CITE>, meaning "no sensation."
It denotes the rare capacity to hear colors, taste shapes, or experience
other equally startling sensory blendings whose quality seems difficult
for most of us to imagine. A synesthete might describe the color, shape,
and flavor of someone's voice, or music whose sound <CITE>looks like</CITE>
"shards of glass," a scintillation of jagged, colored triangles
moving in the visual field. Or, seeing the color red, a synesthete might
detect the "scent" of red as well. The experience is frequently
<CITE>projected</CITE> outside the individual, rather than being an image
in the mind's eye. I currently estimate that 1/25,000 individuals is born
to a world where one sensation <CITE>involuntarily</CITE> conjures up others,
sometimes all five clashing together (Cytowic, 1989, 1993). I suspect this
figure is far too low.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C0F9EBDC-0F61-44E4-B651-DF9F77A902C8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
