 SC is a synesthete who automatically experiences smells, tastes, and feelings of textures in her mouth and throat when she reads, speaks, or hears language, music, and certain environmental sounds.In SC’s case study, researchers utilized fMRI to determine the areas of the brain that were activated during her synesthetic experiences.They compared areas of activation in SC’s brain to those found in literature for other synesthetes, speech processing, language, and sound processing.
