Abstract
Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which two or more bodily senses are merged so that the detection of each is mismatched. In this paper I will investigate the history of this condition, the primary researchers, the neurological factors, whether it is perceptual or cognitive and how it relates to metaphors and the consciousness debate in philosophy.
