18 WHAT IS SYNESTHESIA? An introduction by Professor of Neuropsychology & Synesthesia expert PROF JOOLS SIMNER.

Ok, it's time to reintroduce the topic: What is Synesthesia? What differences do we see in the brain of a synesthete compared to a non-synesthete? And what do we know about the genetics? On this episode we tackle the (not so basic) basics with no other than Prof Jools Simner. She is a synesthesia expert, Professor for Neuropsychology at the University of Sussex and head of the MULTISENSE lab. What an honor to have her on!
