The Emergence of Synaesthesia in a Neuronal Network Model via Changes in Perceptual Sensitivity and Plasticity. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2016 Synaesthesia is an unusual perceptual experience in which an inducer stimulus triggers a percept in a different domain in addition to its own. To explore the conditions under which synaesthesia evolves, we studied a neuronal network model that represents

A longitudinal study of grapheme-colour synaesthesia in childhood: 6/7 years to 10/11 years [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Grapheme-colour synaesthesia is a condition characterised by enduring and consistent associations between letter/digits and colours. This study is the continuation of longitudinal research begun by Simner, Harrold, Creed, Monro and Foulkes (2009) which ...

Genetic and environmental contributions to the link between synaesthesia and neurodevelopmental and psychiatric features: a twin study [PDF]
Translational PsychiatrySynaesthesia is a sensory phenomenon where specific inputs such as written letters or tastes automatically trigger additional sensations (for instance colours).

Sharing the load: How a personally coloured calculator for grapheme-colour synaesthetes can reduce processing costs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Synaesthesia refers to a diverse group of perceptions. These unusual perceptions are defined by the experience of concurrents; these are conscious experiences that are catalysed by attention to some normally unrelated stimulus, the inducer.

Colour and texture associations in voice-induced synaesthesia [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Voice-induced synaesthesia, a form of synaesthesia in which synaesthetic perceptions are induced by the sounds of people’s voices, appears to be relatively rare and has not been systematically studied.

Synaesthesia: a distinct entity that is an emergent feature of adaptive neurocognitive differences. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2019 In this article, I argue that synaesthesia is not on a continuum with neurotypical cognition. Synaesthesia is special: its phenomenology is different; it has distinct causal mechanisms; and is likely to be associated with a distinct neurocognitive ...

Developing synaesthesia: A primer [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 Synaesthesia is a variation of human experience that involves the automatic activation of unusual concurrent experiences in response to ordinary inducing stimuli. The causes for the development of synaesthesia are not well understood yet. Synaesthesia may have a genetic basis resulting in enhanced cortical connectivity during development.

Was kann uns schwache sprachliche Synästhesie über „starke synästhetische Metapher“ sagen? Schwache vs. starke Synästhesie im Deutschen und deren Problemstellen veranschaulicht am Beispiel des Lexems Freude [PDF]
Linguistische Treffen in Wrocław, 2021 Synaesthesia is undoubtedly a very complicated and complex phenomenon. Regarding its nature and definition, it poses a wide variety of difficulties not only from the neurocognitive but especially from the linguistic perspective. Both, the weak and strong

New insights into mechanisms of enhanced synaesthetic memory: Benefits are synaesthesia-type-specific. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The goal of this study was to test the nature of the memory advantage in synaesthesia. We compared four different types of synaesthetes (27 grapheme-colour, 21 sound-colour-, 25 grapheme-colour-and-sound-colour- and 24 sequence-space synaesthetes) to ...
