  1. Synesthesia And The Temporal Lobe Of The Cerebral Cortex Caroline Hsiao

  2. Need • Less than 1% of the total population experience the daily neurological experience of Synesthesia. • Less than 10% of the total population know about synesthesia. • Synesthesia may tell us about consciousness, the nature of reality, and the relationship between reason and emotion.

  3. Knowledge Base The temporal lobe controls vision http://research.yale.edu/ysm/article.jsp?articleID=83

  4. Knowledge Base Temporal Lobe Color sensory area Graphemes sensory area http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v10/n6/fig_tab/nn0607-671_F1.html

  5. Knowledge Base Temporal Lobe http://benkimball.vox.com/library/post/qotd-time-travel.html http://www.dwp.gov.uk/medical/med_conditions/major/stroke/specific_nps_stroke.asp

  6. Knowledge Base Someone with Grapheme → color synesthesia may see similar to this. http://bnee.com/2006/09/synesthesia-my-synesthetic-alphabet/

  7. Literature Review J. A. Nunn, L. J. Gregory M. Brammer, S. C. R. Williams, D. M. Parslow, M. J. Morgan, R. G. Morris, E. T. Bullmore, S. Baron-Cohen and J. A. Used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to locate the region activated by speech in synesthetes to area V4/V8 in the left hemisphere, and demonstrate overlap with V4/V8 activation in normal controls in response to color. No activity was detected in areas V1 or V2, suggesting that activity in primary visual cortex is not necessary for such experience.

  8. Literature Review Palmeri Thomas J., Blake Randolph, Marois Rene´, Flanery Marci A., and Whetsell William, Jr. subject, in contrast to non-synesthetic subjects, accomplished task with relative ease the target of the search had a different synesthetic color from distracters. synesthetic experiences appear to originate from a binding of color and form that takes place within central stages of visual processing.
