Kyle,

        I inadvertently deleted your query to mag re: synethesia and lack
of depth perception. What little I know leads me to doubt there is a
connection.
Synethesia is a function of the cortical area(parietal lobe, mainly); while
depth percetion is a function of kenesthetic feed back from the six ocular
muscles of each eye. Thus, monocular vision= no depth perception.
