Diary of a Synesthete: Book One (Volume 1) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a synesthete? To see colors when you hear noises? To taste one thing, causing you to hear another? Fourteen-year-old Kaitlyn Sanders knows exactly what it's like. Sometimes it's frustrating, and yet at other times it can be quite delightful. She's often able to tell good from bad whether it's people, cars or even houses with her rare gift of colors, but not all the time does anyone listen to her. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Synesthesia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
One in 23 people carry the genes for the synesthesia. Not a disorder but a neurological trait - like perfect pitch - synesthesia creates vividly felt cross-sensory couplings. A synesthete might hear a voice and at the same time see it as a color or shape, taste its distinctive flavor, or feel it as a physical touch. Cytowic explains that synesthesia's most frequent manifestation is seeing days of the week as colored, followed by sensing letters, numerals, and punctuation marks in different hues even when printed in black. Other manifestations include tasting food in shapes, seeing music in moving colors, and mapping numbers and other sequences spatially. One synesthete declares, "Chocolate smells pink and sparkly"; another invents a dish (chicken, vanilla ice cream, and orange juice concentrate) that tastes intensely blue. Cytowic, who in the 1980s revived scientific interest in synesthesia, sees it now understood as a spectrum, an umbrella term that covers five clusters of outwardly felt couplings that can occur via several pathways. Yet synesthetic or not, each brain uniquely filters what it perceives. Cytowic reminds us that each individual's perspective on the world is thoroughly subjective. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Mirror Touch: Notes from a Doctor Who Can Feel Your Pain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 622min
A doctor with a rare - seemingly superhuman - neurological trait takes us on a compelling tour deep into the human brain in this blend of memoir and scientific exploration that combines the compassionate wisdom of Oliver Sacks and the personal revelations of Jill Bolte Taylor's My Stroke of Insight. Dr. Joel Salinas is a Harvard-trained researcher and neurologist with extraordinary gifts that provide him unique access to his patients and enable him to experience life in an extraordinary way. He has mirror-touch synesthesia, a neurological trait that allows him to feel others' emotions and physical sensations. Susceptible to the pain and discomfort of his patients - most of whom suffer from strokes, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and a host of other painful disorders and extreme injuries - Salinas uses his heightened empathic ability - what he calls "compulsory mindfulness" - to help understand and better treat their conditions. Using his own experiences as a neurologist and synesthete as a narrative through line, Salinas also shares the remarkable stories of equally remarkable subjects who similarly live in a heightened state of awareness, whether because of a congenital condition, after a seemingly debilitating stroke, or amid an ecstatic seizure. Written with intelligence and compassion, and anchored by the latest developments in neurology, psychology, and psychiatry, Mirror Touch is an enthralling investigation into the power of the brain - one that proves that the mind, in wondrous and mysterious fashion, continues to promise exciting and inexhaustible ways to think, to see, and to be. ungekürzt.
