According to Wikipedia, synesthesia “is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway”. One very common form of synesthesia is chromesthesia, a condition in which the synesthete associates sounds with colours. In plain words, they see colours when they hear certain sounds, especially music.
