It would teach them a great deal more, even about synaesthesia. The researchers should eat pcilocybin mushrooms, LSD or mescaline and experience synaesthesia first-hand..

I´m still impressed how this kind of cross-wiring in brain circuitry rather than degrade performance is upgrading. My humble view is that not only synaesthesia is the key to understand the "bauplan" of the brain, but also if there is an end in the road towards brain evolution.
