Enhanced memory ability: Insights from synaesthesia
Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2012 People with synaesthesia show an enhanced memory relative to demographically matched controls. The most obvious explanation for this is that the ‘extra’ perceptual experiences lead to richer encoding and retrieval opportunities of stimuli which induce ...

Psychophysiological evidence for the genuineness of swimming-style colour synaesthesia
Consciousness and Cognition, 2013 Recently, swimming-style colour synaesthesia was introduced as a new form of synaesthesia. A synaesthetic Stroop test was used to establish its genuineness. Since Stroop interference can occur for any type of overlearned association, in the present study

Synaesthesia in language consists in the combination of linguistic expressions referring to different sensory modalities, as in bitter voice. In this chapter, we first address the debate on the definition of synaesthesia, arguing that it is a type of metaphor.

Journal of Mental Science, 1955
Synaesthesia is defined by Vernon (1937) as a phenomenon in which “a stimulus presented in one mode seems to call up imagery of another mode as readily as that of its own”. The discovery of synaesthesia has sometimes been wrongly attributed to Galton.

Synaesthesia and cortical connectivity
Trends in Neurosciences, 2008Synaesthesia is a heritable condition of involuntary sensory cross-activation whereby the presentation of a particular stimulus elicits a secondary sensory-perceptual experience. It is thought to be caused by aberrant cross-activation of one cortical area by another, but models differ as to whether this reflects functional or structural differences in ...

Visual Synaesthesia in the Blind
Perception, 2004Synaesthesia is characterised by idiosyncratic ectopic sensations which commonly take the form of coloured visual impressions evoked by touch or hearing. We studied six late-blind individuals who have retained synaesthetic colour perception. Four of them had been without any form of genuine colour vision for more than 10 years.

Abstract Synaesthesia is a confusion of the senses, whereby stimulation of one sense triggers stimulation in a completely different sensory modality. A synaesthete might claim to be able to hear colours, taste shapes, describe the colour, shape, and flavour of someone's voice, or music, the sound of which looks like 'shards of glass ...

When is synaesthesia not synaesthesia? When it is a metaphor
2001Abstract There’s something you may have noticed about people with synaesthesia, i.e. they tend to be women? What is immediately curious about the figures from history who, it is claimed, are or were synaesthetes is the overwhelming preponderance of males. Before we proceed it is again time for a little honesty.
