| quote: | Although the definition of synaesthesia is very specific, pseudosynaesthesia is seen frequently. Pseudosynaesthesia can occur unintentionally, as with drug use or learned associations, or intentionally, as in much literature, music, and art.
Drug Use
Drug use is one of the most common causes of pseudosynaesthesia. Hashish has been the most frequently mentioned substance in the past, due to the large number of writers who are known to have used it and commented on its vivid effects. These writers spoke frequently of hearing and/or smelling colors, seeing sounds, and even seeing feelings during their hashish intoxication. More recently, mescaline has been shown to produce extremely vivid pseudosynaesthetic experiences. Peyote (related to mescaline), which is sacred to many Native American tribes and is often used in their spiritual ceremonies, has very similar effects. With both peyote and mescaline, the pseudosynaesthesia produced is most frequently of the visual/hearing type. |
