Understanding grapheme personification: a social synaesthesia?
Much of synaesthesia research focused on colour, but not all cross-domain correspondences reported by synaesthetes are strictly sensory. For example, some synaesthetes personify letters and numbers, in additional to visualizing them in colour. First reported in the 1890s, the phenomenon has been largely ignored by scientists for more than a century with the exception of a few single-case report...
متن کاملPupillometry of grapheme-color synaesthesia.
Pupil diameters of color-grapheme synaesthetes were measured with an infrared eye-tracker while Stroop-like alphanumeric symbols were passively viewed. Pupils dilated more when synaesthetes viewed incongruently-colored symbols than congruently-colored symbols or symbols printed in the standard black ink. The results show that the physiological measure of pupillary diameter can be used as a mark...
متن کاملContextual Priming in Grapheme-Color Synaesthesia
Grapheme-color synaesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which particular graphemes, such as the numeral 9, automatically induce the simultaneous perception of a particular color, such as the color red. To test whether the concurrent color sensations in graphemecolor synaesthesia are treated as meaningful stimuli, we recorded event-related brain potentials as 8 synaesthetes and 8 matched con...

متن کاملA comparison of lexical-gustatory and grapheme-colour synaesthesia.
This study compares two different profiles of synaesthesia. One group (N = 7) experiences synaesthetic colour and the other (N = 7) experiences taste. Both groups are significantly more consistent over time than control subjects asked to generate analogous associations. For the colour synaesthetes, almost every word elicits a colour photism and there are systematic relationships between the col...
