Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society and author of such works as Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine ...
Alternatively, synesthesia may arise through "disinhibited feedback" or a reduction in the amount of inhibition along feedback pathways (Grossenbacher & Lovelace 2001).It is well established that information not only travels from the primary sensory areas to association areas such as the parietal lobe or the limbic system, but also travels back in the opposite direction, from "higher order ...

A study using magnetoencephalography has shown that color information is available in the brain signal ~200 milliseconds later when accessed via synesthesia in comparison to direct color perception, which is consistent with conceptual mediation. [37] The study supports the idea that synesthesia is a semantic phenomenon – i.e., ideasthesia.
Eagleman is the developer of The Synesthesia Battery, a free online test by which people can determine whether they are synesthetic.
