Synaesthesia, or mixed sensory perception, leads people to "see" smells or "hear" colours. Why does this occur and what does this tell us about brain function?

Each of our senses has different receptors, and are normally processed in separate, dedicated cortexes of the brain.
Synaesthesia is a condition where different senses mix.
Synaesthetes may taste words, or hear colours.
Famous synaesthetes include painter David Hockney and musician Duke Ellington.
