Synaesthesia and learning: A critical review and novel theory

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Learning and synaesthesia are profoundly interconnected. On the one hand, the development of synaesthesia is clearly influenced by learning. Synaesthetic inducers—the stimuli that evoke these unusual experiences—often involve the perception of complex ...

A Hierarchy of Crossmodal Odor Associations: Exploring the Role of Pleasantness and Edibility in Odor Crossmodal Associations Across the Senses

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Crossmodal associations with odors have the potential to aid in odor perception and language. In addition, identifying the dimensions that drive odor crossmodal associations may help understand the critical dimensions underlying odor perception more generally.

A longitudinal study of grapheme-colour synaesthesia in childhood: 6/7 years to 10/11 years

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 ...

Organizational Soundscapes and the Sonicity of Voices: The Power of the ‘Sounds’ that Carry ‘Words’

Journal of Management Studies, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 2305-2331, September 2026.
Abstract Organizations are soundscapes – they resonate with sounds and particularly the sounds of voices. Somehow however voice sonics, that is the sounds of voices and not the words carried on those sounds, have escaped attention in management studies. This absence of analysis is peculiar given voice sonics' undoubted influence on management (they may

Automaticity in Stimulus-Parity Synaesthesia

i-Perception, 2017
Automaticity is a defining characteristic of synaesthesia. Here, we assess for automaticity in stimulus-parity synaesthesia; a subtype that has been documented only 3 times in the literature. Synaesthete R experiences many (nonnumerical) stimuli as being

Colour-grapheme synaesthesia affects binocular vision

Frontiers in Psychology, 2011
In colour-grapheme synaesthesia, non-coloured graphemes are perceived as being inherently coloured. In recent years, it has become evident that synaesthesia-inducing graphemes can affect visual processing in a manner comparable to real, physical colours.

Monolithic Opto‐Acoustic Synesthetic Transduction of Color and Sound in a Single Chiral Liquid Crystal Elastomer

Small, Volume 22, Issue 42, 27 July 2026.
Monolithic cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers simultaneously generate color and sound under electrically programmed stimuli. Low‐frequency electric fields modulate the helical pitch to produce tunable structural colors, while high‐frequency excitation induces membrane vibration for acoustic emission.

Associative memory advantage in grapheme-colour synaesthetes compared to older, but not younger adults

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
People with grapheme-colour synaesthesia perceive enriched experiences of colours in response to graphemes (letters, digits). In this study, we examined whether these synaesthetes show a generic associative memory advantage for stimuli that do not elicit

Personalised Perception: The Effect of Personality on the Sensory Effects of Psychedelics

Drug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Psychedelics induce a wide range of sensory distortions and hallucinations (henceforth ‘distortions’). Yet, little is known about factors that influence the occurrence of certain distortions. Extra‐pharmacological variables including personality traits have been found to correlate with the occurrence of different subjective ...

Consonance Shapes the Multisensory and Emotional Mappings of Musical Intervals Across English‐ and Mandarin‐Speakers

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1561, Issue 1, July 2026.
We investigated how English‐speakers from North America and the United Kingdom and Mandarin‐speakers from China map musical intervals onto sensory and emotional dimensions. Across vision, touch, taste, and affect, consonant intervals were consistently linked to positive, smooth, warm, and bright qualities, whereas dissonant intervals were associated ...
