18 WHAT IS SYNAESTHESIA? An introduction by PROF JOOLS SIMNER.

Ok, it's time to reintroduce the topic: What is Synaesthesia? What differences do we see in the brain of a synesthete compared to a non-synaesthete? 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! Wanna give feedback, submit a "Synnie of the month" story or sign up for the first ever synaesthesia awareness day meet-up? Please leave your info in the question field on spotify, dm or email me!
