Man, thats pretty cool, yeah, he has a big section on synesthesia. His book is set up in the way of many people's experiences, so you see the wide variety of the different inflictions (I could've used a better word there I'm sure). He also offers current science theories and their applications to understand it. I believe that he said it was suggested at one time (and more evidence has come in now to support it) that synesthesia is a backward connection from the brain to the eyes, so the brain is telling the eyes things, (or maybe that was the chapter on musical hallucinations).
Anyways, it is a great book, I would suggest people to read it so they get a sense of how it is for them.
A couple questions for you makke (because I am very curious); Even though you haven't experienced the "normal" way of experiencing music, does it ever get in the way? Also, does it adjust the way you feel about music (like thinking that those colors dont fit together)? Finally does these colors affect your art (I'm assuming you are a artist, as you are the lead artist on the team)? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, but you have to know that I'm fascinated by most of the things covered in the book. I'm also fascinated by the way the brain processes information.
