Podcast #12 - The Fascinating World Of Synesthesia

This week’s podcast is all about the neurological condition of Synesthesia where sensory experiences are blended (like hearing colours or tasting words) and explores the downsides such as social difficulties, as well as upsides like creativity and benefits for memory. It also goes into various different types of synesthesia (of which there are about 80!)Loved this episode?
