Soon after the Pupin coil was introduced, it was discovered that, by crossing the wires of two circuits at regular intervals, another unexplainable circuit was induced.

平线圈推出后不久，人们发现，将两个电路的导线每隔一定间交叉，就会感应出另一个无法解释的电路。

Meanwhile, other scientists have gone as far to suggest that we could actually have some crossed wires linking our visual perception to our senses of smell and taste on a physiological level.

The expression originally comes from horse races, where they would put a wire at the finish line (where the horses would end up), and whichever one crossed the wire first was the winner.
