Dear synesthetes, synesthesiologists and fellow rainbowless rudesbies,

This may be of interest, especially to those of you who remember Spencer
Muldoon in ADA III.4:

Megan S Steven, Colin Blakemore (2004) Visual synaesthesia in the blind.
Perception, 33(7) pp 855 - 868.

May be available at your institutional library as an e-journal.

Megan Steven replied to my note forwarding the excerpt from ADA:

How interesting that he wrote about a blind synaesthete and that that
person's experiences were so close to the ones we observed in real blind
synaesthetes.



So what had seemed like a wild excursus turns out, once again, to be closer
to truth than it looks.
