Summary/Abstract: Synaesthesia is a multifaceted phenomenon encompassing genetic, neurochemical, and cognitive elements, contributing to a deeper understanding of how our senses and perceptions are intricately intertwined. This paper approaches an interdisciplinary approach to a current subject in cognitive psychology, examined by specialists from diverse fields: cognitive psychologists, neurologists, philologists, musicologists, etc. Nevertheless, the diverse manifestations of synaesthesia and its phenomenological nature have posed challenges in verifying and studying its origins and mechanisms. This article adopts a medical standpoint in its examination of synesthesia, with a particular focus on its evolutionary trends and its influence within the domain of musical tasks.
