The ten people in one million who are synaesthetes are born into the world where one sensation (e.g. sound) conjures up one or more others (e.g. taste or colour). Experiments with more than 40 synaesthetes led Richard Cytowic to an explanation of synaesthesia that emphasized the primacy of emotion over reason.
