	Journal of Vision - Top-down influences affect the experience of synesthetically induced colors, by Butcher, Hubbard, ...
		We have previously shown that synesthetically induced colors can influence perceptual grouping, can lead to pop-out and are not affected by crowding (a form of blindsight).
		This suggests that synesthesia is a sensory phenomenon caused by cross activation of brain maps corresponding to color (V4 or V8) and graphemes, which lie adjacent to each other in the fusiform gyrus (Ramachandran and Hubbard, SFN 2000, 2001 VSS 2001).
