Now, as irrefutable evidence mounts that some healthy brains really do this, we are forced to ask how this squares with some cherished conceptions of neuroscience. These include binding, modularity, functionalism, blindsight, and consciousness. The good news is that when old theoretical structures fall, new light may flood in. Far from a mere curiosity, synesthesia illuminates a wide swath of mental life. In this classic text, Richard Cytowic quickly disposes of earlier criticisms that the phenomenon cannot be "real," demonstrating that it is indeed brain-based. Following a historical introduction, he lays out the phenomenology of synesthesia in detail and gives criteria for clinical diagnosis and an objective "test of genuineness." He reviews theories and experimental procedures to localize the plausible level of the neuraxis at which synesthesia operates. In a discussion of brain development and neural plasticity, he addresses the possible ubiquity of neonatal synesthesia, the construction of metaphor, and whether everyone is unconsciously synesthetic. In the closing chapters, Cytowic considers synesthetes' personalities, the apparent frequency of the trait among artists, and the subjective and illusory nature of what we take to be objective reality, particularly in the visual realm. The second edition has been extensively revised, reflecting the recent flood of interest in synesthesia and new knowledge of human brain function and development. More than two-thirds of the material is new. 001387261 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001387261 650_0 $$aSynesthesia$$xPhysiological aspects. 001387261 650_0 $$aSenses and sensation. 001387261 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001387261 653__ $$aNEUROSCIENCE/General 001387261 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001387261 852__ $$bebk 001387261 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/6590.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001387261 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001387261 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1387261$$pGLOBAL_SET 001387261 980__ $$aBIB 001387261 980__ $$aEBOOK 001387261 982__ $$aEbook 001387261 983__ $$aOnline
