Synesthesia Synesthesia 联觉、通感联觉、通感

Synesthesia is a neurological

phenomenon in which stimulation

of one sensory (感官的 ) or

cognitive (认知的 ) pathway leads

to automatic, involuntary

experiences in a second sensory or

cognitive pathway.

P4

There are two overall forms of synesthesia: projecting

synesthesia and associative synesthesia. Projectors will

see actual colors, forms, or shapes when stimulated;

associators will feel a very strong and involuntary

connection between the stimulus and the sense that it

triggers.

For example, a projector may hear a trumpet and see an

orange triangle in space while an associator might hear a

trumpet and think very strongly that it sounds “orange.”
