Training Synaesthesia

Perception, 2011
Synaesthetic inducers such as graphemes are typically cultural artifacts. Thus, a learning component seems evident in synaesthesia (Simner et al, 2009 Brain132 57 – 64). Normally, synaesthetes report to have their experiences since they can remember. Nevertheless, a recent training study suggests that synaesthesia can be mimicked in non-synaesthetes ...

Types of Synaesthesia

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, 2008
Synaesthesia 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 ...

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 ...

Visual Synaesthesia in the Blind

Perception, 2004
Synaesthesia 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.

Psychedelic synaesthesia: Evidence for a serotonergic role in synaesthesia

Seeing and Perceiving, 2012
The neurobiology of synaesthesia is receiving growing attention in the search for insights into consciousness, such as the binding problem. One way of decoding the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this phenomenon is to investigate the induction of synaesthesia via neurochemical agents, as commonly occurs with psychedelic substances.

When is synaesthesia not synaesthesia? When it is a metaphor

2001
Abstract 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.
