  Synaesthesia (syn·es·the·sia)

  Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which the stimulation of one sense involuntarily triggers the perception of another sense. This means that people with synesthesia may experience, for example, colors when they hear music, tastes when they see letters, or shapes when they smell certain scents. It is a rare but well-documented condition, estimated to affect about 2-5% of the population.
