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.

Wellbeing differences in children with synaesthesia: anxiety and mood regulation
Frontiers in Bioscience-Elite, 2020 Synaesthesia is a neurodevelopmental trait that causes unusual sensory experiences (e.g., perceiving colours when reading letters and numbers). Our paper represents the first evidence that synaesthesia can impact negatively on children’s well-being, and ...

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.

The induction of synaesthesia with chemical agents: a systematic review
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Despite the general consensus that synaesthesia emerges at an early developmental stage and is only rarely acquired during adulthood, the transient induction of synaesthesia with chemical agents has been frequently reported in research on different ...

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 ...

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

Personality profile of child synaesthetes
Frontiers in Bioscience-Elite, 2020 Previous research into personality and synaesthesia has focused on adult populations and yielded mixed results. One particular challenge has been to distinguish traits associated with synaesthesia, from traits associated with the ways in which ...
