The author traces the concept from its initial identification in the 19th century to contemporary investigations. They identify several types of responses, ranging from simple color associations to complex visual patterns that mirror the structure of the music. The book considers the relationship between colored hearing and other sensory experiences, such as imagery and synesthesia. The author examines the psychological and physiological mechanisms that may underlie colored hearing, suggesting that it involves cross-modal connections between auditory and visual brain areas. They also discuss the potential implications of colored hearing for the development of new art forms, such as color music, in which music is translated into visual displays. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive overview of colored hearing, offering valuable insights into the nature of perception, the relationship between the senses, and the potential for expanding our sensory experiences through music.
