Join us to learn about the fascinating phenomenon of synesthesia and what it tells us about human consciousness. When we say that a particular color is "loud," whether we know it or not, we are employing a low-level form of synesthesia (mixing different senses or concepts). But what more might synesthesia teach us about creativity, consciousness, and unusual ways of knowing?
