Acquired synaesthesia following 2C-B use

Sensory substitution as an artificially acquired synaesthesia.

In this review we explore the relationship between synaesthesia and sensory substitution and argue that sensory substitution does indeed show properties of synaesthesia. Both are associated with atypical perceptual experiences elicited by the processing of a qualitatively different stimulus to that which normally gives rise to that experience. In the most common forms of sensory substitution, p...

Use of antidepressant medication following acquired brain injury: concise guidance.

Depression is increasingly recognised as a common sequel to acquired brain injury and the use of antidepressant medication in this context has increased markedly over recent years. However, these drugs are not without side effects--some of them serious--and they should not be used without proper evaluation and monitoring. This set of concise guidance was developed jointly by the British Society...

English is spoken by everyone and it has become a very appealing place for Asian (typically, but not exclusively, Chinese and Indian) and non-Asian (from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand) researchers trained elsewhere to move to. For the Asians, this is home or clo...

Running Head: Redefining Synaesthesia? Redefining Synaesthesia?

Defining synaesthesia.

Studies investigating developmental synaesthesia have sought to describe a number of qualities that might capture in behavioural terms the defining characteristics of this unusual phenomenon. The task of generating a definition is made more difficult by the fact that any description of synaesthesia must be broad enough to capture the 61 different variants of the condition already reported to da...
