'''Synaesthesia''' (also spelled '''synesthesia''' or '''synæsthesia''') | '''Synaesthesia''' (also spelled '''synesthesia''' or '''synæsthesia''') is a condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Glossary of Technical Terms|journal=Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.)|year=2013|pages=830|doi=10.1176/appi.books.9780890425596.GlossaryofTechnicalTerms}}</ref> For example, during this experience a person may begin seeing music, tasting colors, hearing smells, or any other potential combination of the senses.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors=((Simner, J.)) | journal=Frontiers in Psychology | title=Why are there different types of synesthete? | volume=4 | pages=558 | date=2 September 2013 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3759026/ | issn=1664-1078 | doi=10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00558}}</ref> At its highest level, synaesthesia becomes so all-encompassing that each of the senses become completely intertwined with and experienced through all of the other senses. This is a complete blending of human perception and is usually interpreted as extremely profound when experienced. It is worth noting that a significant percentage of the population experience synaesthesia to varying extents during every day life without the use of drugs.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors=((Simner, J.)), ((Mulvenna, C.)), ((Sagiv, N.)), ((Tsakanikos, E.)), ((Witherby, S.
