Abstract
A lot of research has been done about how humans interact with their senses. A recent study suggests that humans sort colors in their working memories in categories of colors rather than as the unique hue. This suggests that the average human brain does not have specific memory associations for colors. It is hard to consider, then, that some people are able to make precise associations between senses. Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which two or more senses are merged together. Synesthesia can vary from colored hearing (varying from vowels to music to noises), to colored taste, and colored temperatures.
