Richard E. Cytowic is best known for rediscovering synesthesia in 1980 and returning it to the scientific mainstream where it is now seen as crucial to basic theories of how the brain works.


A Pulitzer Prize nominee for his James Brady cover story, Dr. Cytowic’s writings range from textbooks and music reviews to his Love Doctor advice columns. Brief medical biographies of Anton Chekhov and Maurice Ravel typify his bridging of science and art.


Dr. Cytowic has long promoted public understanding of science, and his work is the subject of numerous documentaries.
