  • Richard E. Cytowic is an American neurologist and author who rekindled interest in studying synesthesia in the 1980s. A Pulitzer Prize nominee for his New York Times Magazine cover story about James Brady, the Presidential Press Secretary shot in the brain during the assassination attempt on President Reagan, Cytowic’s writings range from textbooks and music reviews, to his [Metro Weekly] "Love Doctor" essays and brief medical biographies of Anton Chekhov and Maurice Ravel. His work is the subject of several documentaries In Musicophilia Oliver Sacks says, "In the 1980, Richard Cytowic made the first neurophysiological studies of synesthetic subjects... In 1989, he published a pioneering text, Synesthesia: A Union of the Senses, and this was followed by a popular exploration of the subject in 1993, The Man Who Tasted Shapes. Current techniques of functional brain imagine now give unequivocal evidence for the simultaneous activation or coactivation of two or more sensory areas of the cerebral cortex in synesthetes, just as Cytowic’s work predicted. ”
