Synesthesia is a non-pathological variation of human perception that has contributed to foster the interest of the scientific community in the study of individual differences. Research on its neural basis has run in parallel with the development of neuroimaging techniques, which has allowed to characterize the synesthetic brain both at an anatomical and at a functional level. In this talk Dr. Melero will present phenomenological and neuroscientific data of the phenomenon, and explain the impact of synesthesia research on other areas of knowledge such as the identification of biomarkers based on MRI in neurological diseases.
