title: Synaesthesia: reconciling the subjective with the objective.
abstract: Coloured hearing synaesthesia (from the Greek syn (union) and aisthesis (sensation)), has been known to the scientific community for over 300 years and yet has gone relatively uninvestigated. This review charts recent progress in the investigation of synaesthesia and discusses the consequences of this research for our understanding of the condition.
