in which you see numbers and letters as colored

that couples two or more senses in 4% of the population.

A synesthete might not only hear my voice,

Having one type, such as colored hearing,

gives you a 50% chance of having a second,

By contrast, the sound units of language,

Synesthesia is a trait, like having blue eyes,

endow synesthetes with superior memories.

For example, a girl runs into someone she met long ago.

Synesthetes inherit a biological propensity

but then must be exposed to cultural artifacts,

The amazing thing is that a single nucleotide change

in the sequence of one's DNA alters perception.

how two people can see the same thing differently.

Take Sean, who prefers blue tasting food,

The gene heightens normally occurring connections

between the taste area in his frontal lobe

that the gene acted in non-sensory areas.

Not surprisingly, synesthesia is more common

in artists who excel at making metaphors,

But why do the rest of us non-synesthetes

that the sound is coming from the actors' mouths

outwardly unaware of the perceptual couplings
