against Microconsciousness? T.Z. Rams�y
 The interdiciplinary approach to consciousness continously produce findings that test specific theories of consciousness. And there are plentiful of theories pertaining to the relationship between brain and mind. Now, two independent studies
raise what seems as compelling evidence against the so-called theory of 'Microconsciousness'. Synesthesia - perceptual cross-overs in brain and Mind. T.Z. Rams�y  Normally, we think of our sense perceptions as quite separate entities. You hear a sound, you see a flash of light, you feel a touch on your cheek. But not all have such clear-cut experiences. Some people - sometimes called "synesthetes" - experience perceptual crossovers, experiencing colors when hearing specific sounds, and having specific taste experiences when listening to music. While these phenomena are interesting solely from a phenomenological viewpoint, they might yield insights into the relationship between brain and mind.
