"Synesthesia is the blending or mixing of senses. A synesthete, for example, might see colors when listening to music or taste flavors when hearing a word. Dr. David Eagleman of Baylor College of Medicine explains this strange condition, and four synesthetes explain how they perceive the world."

A conversation between Vincent Racaniello and a virology class at Montana State University.

I have given many talks on the history of California spirituality based on my book The Visionary State. Probably the best was the following lecture, which I gave on March 15 at the Philosophical Research Society, which was founded by the great Angeleno esotericist Manly P. Hall. It focuses on the esoteric and magickal currents that manifested themselves in California, and dives beneath the history to get at the furtive spirit of the place. The recording is a little spotty at the very beginning, but then you should be good to go. Introduction made by the scintillating Maja D’Aoust. Check it.
Neuroscientist by day, novelist by night - David Eagleman has just written an extraordinary little novel about the afterlife. He’s also a leading researcher in synesthesia, studying people who taste sounds, hear colours, and live in a remarkable world of sensory cross-talk. He joins Natasha Mitchell in conversation about life, death and the in-between.
