Experiences in which the senses are intermingled in usual ways are a common motif in the descriptions that mystics provide of their unordinary sensory experiences. This workshop examines the phenomenon of synaesthesia from a multi-disciplinary perspective in order to advance our understanding of the relationship between synaesthesia, metaphor, creativity, and religious and artistic practices.

I like this Buba & Keekee example of everyday synaesthesia, but I’m not sure I agree with his claim that the brain associates the sound of those words with the shapes.

So it might be an abstraction from one visual object to another. Any thoughts?
