'''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.

It is worth noting that a signifigant percentage of the population experience synaesthesia to varying extents during every day life without the use of drugs.  


Synaesthesia is commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], and [[mescaline]]. However, it seemingly most  commonly experienced under the influence of [[stimulation|stimulating]] psychedelics such as the [[2C-x]], [[DOx]], and [[Nbome]] series.
