The editorial series Sinapsi (“synapses”) collects texts published in the journal Nodes since its foundation, as well as unpublished content. It delivers different writing forms: essays, interviews, scientific articles and of wide circulation. The intention is to make accessible to readers, on the one hand, contents that are no longer available and, on the other hand, topics and writing never published before.
Volume 6 is titled La ricerca sulla sinestesia. Un contributo tra neuroscienze e design. This text retraces the main stages that have marked the research on synesthesia and detects two barely addressed issues: the history of synesthaesia and its future prospects. First, the role and historical importance of Italian scholars (physiologists, aestheticians, historians, linguists) in identifying the synaesthetic phenomenon will be outlined, given how they are too often left out from the scientific production. Second, some applicative prospects drawing from the neuroscientific knowledge on synesthesia in the field of design for content accessibility and the design for health and well-being will be further explored.
