{"product_id":"synesthesia-richard-e-cytowic-9781461281498","title":"Synesthesia: A Union of the Senses","description":"Synesthesia comes from the Greek \u003ci\u003esyn\u003c\/i\u003e (meaning union) and \u003ci\u003eaisthesis\u003c\/i\u003e (sensation), literally interpreted as a joining of the senses. Synesthesia is an involuntary joining in which the real information from one sense is joined or accompanies a perception in another. Dr. Cytowic reports extensive research into the physical, psychological, neural, and familial background of a group of synesthets. His findings form the first complete picture of the brain mechanisms that underlie this remarkable perceptual experience. His research demonstrates that this rare condition is brain-based and perceptual and not mind-based, as is the case with memory or imagery. \u003ci\u003eSynesthesia\u003c\/i\u003e offers a unique and detailed study of a condition which has confounded scientists for more than 200 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard E.
