Maureen Seaberg’s column in Psychology Today was the first to report on the groundbreaking developments surrounding our senses. A contributor to the New York Times, National Geographic, Huffington Post, ESPN The Magazine, Vogue, and many other outlets, she has appeared on CNN, NPR, Oprah Radio, MSNBC, and PBS. An avid birder and photographer, she is herself a sensory outlier as a proven tetrachromat or super colour seer and synesthete. She lives in New York City.

“The Synesthesia Experience is not only the brilliant writing of a top, professional journalist looking in on a strange but romantic phenomena, but it is the writing of a person who could embrace the feelings of those she interviews, because author Seaberg herself possesses this remarkable gift of synesthesia. I predict when you pick up this book, you will be unable to put it down, as it will open up for you a whole new world in our universe.”—The Amazing Kreskin“As Maureen Seaberg beautifully tells us, the conscious minds of synesthetes reach deeper levels of reality, beneath the veil, beyond the cave, to purer realms of meaning.”—Dr. Stuart Hameroff, director, Center for Consciousness Studies, The University of Arizona, Tucson“Maureen Seaberg explores a dimension of synesthesia long encountered in reports of synesthetes: its relation to mystical and artistic vision. In The Synesthesia Experience, Ms. Seaberg, a synesthete herself, has collected some fascinating accounts by some very prominent and inspiring people.”—Patricia Lynne Duffy, author of Blue Cats and Chartreuse Kittens“Maureen Seaberg goes beyond theory and abstraction to delve into the real-life experience of the (surprisingly) many whose senses have revealed themselves in ways to which the rest of us are oblivious. She helps liberate people to explore their own senses and discover the colors of sound, the sounds of color, and so much more. This is an exploration of the mysteries of the senses like no other.” —James Clement van Pelt, program coordinator, Yale Divinity School Initiative in Religion, Science & Technology“Synesthetes, particularly prominent ones, don’t often share their perceptions and thoughts. By eliciting personal stories from famous synesthetic artists and scientists, Maureen Seaberg makes us aware of how people use synesthesia in their professional lives. Through these charming tales she gives us new insights into the creative powers of synesthetic ways of perceiving and thinking.” —Dr. Cretien van Campen, psychologist and art historian, author of The Hidden Sense
