'''Synaesthesia''' (also spelled '''synesthesia''' or '''synæsthesia''') can be described as a blending, merging or mixing of the senses. People who report a lifelong history of such experiences are known as '''synesthetes'''. For example, during this experience a person may begin seeing music, tasting colors, hearing smells or any other potential combination of the senses. 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. | '''Synaesthesia''' (also spelled '''synesthesia''' or '''synæsthesia''') can be described as a blending, merging or mixing of the senses.
