The hard problem of consciousness is easily one of the most fascinating and enigmatic problems humanity has devised. A close tie would be the question regarding whether or not it is possible to conceive of a physical theory of everything. Do the machinations of mind have any real objective significance? Does physical reality truly abide by a set of knowable fundamental principles? This book, along with its many referential sources, attempts to answer these questions by viewing them through the lens of varying fields spanning from Theoretical Physics and Cognitive Science, to Buddhism and the Hermetica. It explores the relationships between qualitative and quantitative phenomena and exposes an underlying symmetry, that symmetry of which serves to combine the two paramount questions into one philosophical query. In short, this is an attempt at a first principles theory of mind, matter, and existence as a whole. One that synthesizes reductionist logic and holistic understandings into one ontological perspective. Our entire universe is in a state of synesthesia, and the subjective faculties of cognition are key components in the creation of a complete picture of objective reality.

Die Publikation versammelt die Ergebnisse des künstlerischen Forschungsprojekts DIGITAL SYNESTHESIA (2013-2016) und stellt erstmals ein umfassendes Kompendium zum Begriff der "Digitalen Synästhesie" dar. "Digitale Synästhesie" umfasst ein völlig neues Konzept der digitalen Künste im 21. Jahrhundert, das die multimediale, auf dem binären Code basierende Ästhetik der digitalen Kunst mit der Multimodalität von Synästhesie als Wahrnehmungsform verbindet. Unter dem Begriff "Digital Synesthesia" geben die Herausgeberinnen diesem neuen Phänomen nicht nur einen Namen. Texte renommierter Medien- und Kunsttheoretiker, Medienkünstler und Neurowissenschaftler vermitteln spannende Einsichten in die Erforschung der synästhetischen Wahrnehmungsmöglichkeiten von multimedialen digitalen Kunstwerken.

Synesthesia comes from the Greek syn (meaning union) and aisthesis (sensation), literally interpreted as a joining of the senses. Synesthesia is an involuntary joining in which the real information from one sense is joined or accompanies a perception in another. Dr. Cytowic reports extensive research into the physical, psychological, neural, and familial background of a group of synesthets. His findings form the first complete picture of the brain mechanisms that underlie this remarkable perceptual experience. His research demonstrates that this rare condition is brain-based and perceptual and not mind-based, as is the case with memory or imagery. Synesthesia offers a unique and detailed study of a condition which has confounded scientists for more than 200 years.

Synaesthesia is, in the words of the cognitive neuroscientist Cytowic, a strange sensory blending. Synaesthetes report seeing colours when hearing sounds or proper names, or they experience tastes when reading the names of subway stations. How do these rare cases relate to other more common examples where sensory experiences get mixed - cases like mirror-touch, personification, cross-modal mappings, and drug experiences? Are we all more or less synaesthetes, and does this mean that we are all subjects of crossmodal illusions? Could some apparently strange sensory cases give us an insight into how perception works? Recent research on the causes and prevalence of synaesthesia raises new questions regarding the links between these cases, and the unity of the condition. By bringing together contributions from leading cognitive neuroscientists and philosophers, this volume considers for the first time the broader theoretical lessons arising from such cases of sensory blending, with regard to the nature of perception and consciousness, the boundaries between perception, illusion and imagination, and the communicability and sharing of experiences.

Unthinkable will change the way you think about your own brain! What does this ZIP Reads Summary Include? Synopsis of the original book Summary & Key Takeaways from each case study Overview of the science behind each phenomena A brief history of brain science Editorial Review Background on the author About the Original Book: Helen Thomson's first book, Unthinkable: An Extraordinary Journey Through the World's Strangest Brains, is the tale of nine of the most unbelieveable brain phenomena ever recorded. From a man whose personality changed overnight to a man who believed he was dead, this part-neuroscience, part-narrative dives deep into the personal stories of each of these cases. Rather than present just the science behind these extraordinary phenomena, Thomson takes an intimate approach to unravel more about what these conditions can teach us about our own brains.

An accessible, concise primer on the neurological trait of synesthesia—vividly felt sensory couplings—by a founder of the field. One in twenty-three 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. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Richard Cytowic, the expert who returned synesthesia to mainstream science after decades of oblivion, offers a concise, accessible primer on this fascinating human experience. 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.

Everyone will be closely acquainted with a few people who have synesthesia but you may not yet know who they are because, until very recently, it was largely hidden and unknown. Now science is uncovering its secrets and the findings are leading to a radical rethink about how our senses are organized.

The stream of our consciousness contains an almost unceasing parade of sensation-like experiences, even in the absence of any external stimulation to produce them. We experience picture-like things, sound-like things, and more; our experiences can resemble any of our sense modalities. These experiences are what we refer to by the phrase "mental imagery." The images need not be vivid. People who doubt that they experience visual imagery are often persuaded by a simple exercise: count the windows of the house in which you live. Nearly everyone performs this task by walking around the house in imagination while counting windows, or by walking through the house counting them from the inside. The imaginary windows seem to be set in visual space. There is a temptation to point at them with an index finger while one counts, even though the images may never become vivid enough to seem like an actual visual experience. But if they seem set in visual space, if they can be pointed at, they clearly constitute a sensory-like experience in some meaningful way.
