New Insights into Synesthesia

regs writes "Synesthesia is a pretty interesting phenomenon to experience and even just contemplate. Those kooky scientists are at it again, with new insights into 'hearing smells', 'seeing sounds', and 'tasting colors'. A recent study seems to shed insight into the brain mechanisms involved in synesthesia. Interesting read."

C flat?

I gave up reading the article when I hit this line:

Another prevalent idea is that synesthetes are merely being metaphorical when they describe the note C flat as "red"

I am not a musician by any stretch of the immagination, but even I know that C flat is not a notation that is used. It's B sharp (B#). This gives me some serious doubts about Sci-Am's editing staff..
