Chromaetesia
The synaesthetic experience depends exclusively on the left brain and is associated with a decreased blood supply to the neocortex. This results in enhanced limbic expression. Therefore, we can assume that the system responsible for synaesthesia is located or influenced by the limbic system more than the neocortex. Additional support for this is that there is an emotional aspect associated with a synesthetic experience. In fact, in order to fulfill the diagnostic criteria for synaesthesia an emotional response must be present. We are irrational creatures by design and that emotion, not reason, may play the decisive role both in how we think and act. Additionally, our brains are not passive receivers of energy flux, but dynamic explorers that actively seek out the stimuli that interest them and determine their own contexts for perception. Because there are more projections from the limbic system to the neocortex than the other way around, the limbic brain easily overwhelms thinking. It is the limbic brain that determines the salience of that information. Therefore, an emotional evaluation ultimately informs our behavior. Our inner knowledge behind the curtain is largely inaccessible to introspective language, which means that what we feel about something is more valid than what we think or say about that something. Reason is just the endless paperwork of the mind.
