Synesthesia is an involuntary joining in which the real information from one sense is joined or accompanies a perception in another. Dr. Cytowic reports extensive research into the physical, psychological, neural, and familial background of a group of synesthets. His findings form the first complete picture of the brain mechanisms that underlie this remarkable perceptual experience. His research demonstrates that this rare condition is brain-based and perceptual and not mind-based, as is the case with memory or imagery. \u003ci\u003eSynesthesia\u003c\/i\u003e offers a unique and detailed study of a condition which has confounded scientists for more than 200 years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461281498\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-3542-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 354\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422528991372,"sku":"9781461281498","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461281498.jpg?v=1776520874","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461281498","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
