V.S. Ramachandran

A renowned neuroscientist and author known for his work on phantom limbs and the neurological basis of synesthesia. As the Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at UCSD, he proposed the 'cross-activation' theory of synesthesia, suggesting that the condition arises from a failure of neural pruning between adjacent brain regions specialized for different senses.
