Semantic mechanisms may be responsible for developing synesthesia
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Currently, little is known about how synesthesia develops and which aspects of synesthesia can be acquired through a learning process. We review the increasing evidence for the role of semantic representations in the induction of synesthesia, and argue ...
