Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of your senses. People are usually born with the condition, but some people develop it later. People who have synesthesia are called synesthetes. ... Synesthetes can often "see" music as colors when they hear it, and "taste" textures like "round" or "pointy" when they eat foods.
