Synesthesia is a conscious experience of systematically induced sensory
attributes that are not experienced by most people under comparable
conditions. Recent findings from cognitive psychology, functional
brain imaging and electrophysiology have shed considerable light
on the nature of synesthesia and its neurocognitive underpinnings.
These cognitive and physiological findings are discussed with respect
to a neuroanatomical framework comprising hierarchically organized
cortical sensory pathways. We advance a neurobiological theory of
synesthesia that fits within this neuroanatomical framework.
