Often science dismisses what it doesn’t yet grasp, until technology or some other breakthrough turns the tide. Before the advent of MRIs, for example, if someone said they could taste a texture or hear spoken words in color (examples of a condition in which the senses are intermingled known as synesthesia), conventional wisdom held that it had to be a metaphor, similar to remarking that a certain wine is “full bodied” or that “I feel blue today.” But it’s no metaphor—neural scans show that the brains of people with synesthesia light up in distinctive ways corresponding to the sensory overlap they report.
