Podcast Episode Summary
Everyone will be closely acquainted with at least 6 or 7 people who have synesthesia but you may not yet know who they are because, until very recently, synesthesia was largely hidden and unknown. Now science is uncovering its secrets and the findings are leading to a radical rethink about how our senses are organized. In this timely and thought-provoking book, Jamie Ward argues that sensory mixing is the norm even though only a few of us cross the barrier into the realms of synesthesia. Dr Jamie Ward is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sussex, UK, and is one of the world’s leading experts on synesthesia. His new book “The Frog Who Croaked Blue” explores synesthesia in a lucid and entertaining way, making it fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in the intriguing workings of the mind.
