Please Explain: Synesthesia




Midday on WNYC show

Summary: <p>Richard E. Cytowic MD will join us for a 'Please Explain' on synesthesia. One in twenty-three people carry the genes for the synesthesia. This neurological trait vividly creates cross-sensory couplings. A synesthete might hear a voice and at the same time see it as a color or shape, taste its distinctive flavor, or feel it as a physical touch. Cytowic will tell stories from his book, <em> </em><em>Synesthesia</em>, and answer all your questions.</p> <p><em>This segment is guest hosted by Nancy Giles.</em></p>
