Can you taste sounds or visualize symphonies of color whenever you hear a song? If your answer to these is "yes," you may have a wonderful condition known as synesthesia, which you share with many great artists, writers, and musicians.
 
In this Spotlight, we look at how synesthesia can affect perception.

Writer Vladimir Nabokov had it, and he called it "color hearing."

By his own account, Nabokov saw each letter in different colors, despite the fact that text was printed all-black on white paper.
