Synesthesia is a neurological condition where the senses are combined, i.e. 'seeing' music, 'hearing' paintings, 'smelling' numbers.

The synesthetic experience is described here : http://web.mit.edu/synesthesia/www/

There is a synesthetic alphabet here : http://web.mit.edu/synesthesia/www/perspectives.html
