What is Auditory → Motor Synesthesia?

Auditory-motor synesthesia occurs when sounds trigger involuntary motor impulses or movement sensations in the limbs or body, beyond simple startle reflexes. A particular melody might cause a pulling sensation in the arms. This goes beyond normal musical entrainment — it is automatic, specific, and consistent.
