Excerpt from The Synaesthesia of a Blind Subject, With Comparative Data From an Asynaesthetic Blind Subject
In a recent monograph (11) the senior writer reviewed the general subject of synaesthesia and described a very complicated case in a blind reagent. In that investigation it was found that the reagent not only associated a color or a certain degree of brightness with every sensory experience other than the visual but also that these same colored associates invariably appeared in his processes of thinking wherever imagery was employed. The investigation here reported is largely concerned with a de scription of these analogous associations in certain of the higher intellectual processes.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the case of a blind subject who experiences not only the involuntary linking of mental phenomena with sensory experiences, a phenomenon known as synaesthesia, but who also exhibits synaesthesia in higher intellectual processes such as thinking. Historically, synaesthesia was most often observed in the form of colored hearing, whereby subjects would perceive specific colors in relation to distinct tones. The author expands on this understanding by acknowledging synaesthesia in a wide array of other senses, including smell and touch, and demonstrates the presence of this phenomenon beyond simple perception into the realm of thought. This work is remarkable not only for its detailed first-hand account of synaesthesia from a subject who exhibits the trait, but also for providing significant insights into the complex operations of the human mind.
