The Synesthesia Experience: Tasting Words, Seeing Music, and Hearing Color
Maureen Seaberg
A violinist sees a scarlet form when he plays a certain note; a rock star sees waves of blue and green as he composes a ballad; an actress tastes cake when she utters the word "table." Described by some as a superpower this mingling of the senses is called “synesthesia,” and the people who possess this amazing gift are called “synesthetes.” What happens when a journalist turns her lens on a mystery happening in her own life? Maureen Seaberg did just that and lived for a year exploring her synesthesia. The wondrous brain trait is often described as blended senses, but for Maureen, synesthesia is not an idle “brain tick” that can be explained away by science (although it does offer some important clues). It is a unique ability to tap into and reveal a greater creative universe and even the divine. Join her as she visits top neuroscientists, rock stars, violinists, other synesthetes, philosophers, savants, quantum physicists, and even Tibetan lamas in her journey toward the truth. Famous synesthetes and experts interviewed in the book include: Billy Joel, Itzhak Perlman, Pharrell Williams, Dr. Dean Radin, Dr. Amit Goswami, and Dylan Lauren. Step into Maureen's shimmering alternate universe as she explores this fascinating subject, combining clear explanations of groundbreaking scientific research with an exploration of deeper understanding of our senses.
· The BBC has said Seaberg has superhuman vision. Vogue called her the "Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes" · Synesthesia is a blending of the senses where, for example, individuals can see color from sound or taste the flavor or texture of a word · Synesthesia is not understood by many though many famous creatives have it. Billie Eilish, Wassily Kandinsky, Lady Gaga, Richard Feynman, Pharrell Williams, Nikola Tesla, Lorde, Vladimir Nabokov, and Itzhak Perlman are all synesthetes.
