X-men: humans with an unusual interaction between receptor systems who construct a world of new images within themselves (on the 140th anniversary of the birth of Academician P P Lazarev)

Academician Petr Lazarev's scientific and organizational activities are briefly described. He predicted, first, the law of interaction between various sets of receptors that occurs in solving problems by humans and, second, the existence of a special type of their special interaction in which two or more receptor channels are either synchronized or combined into a single channel. The second option is referred to as synesthesia. Half a century later, the interest in studies of this phenomenon became widespread.
