Acquiring synaesthesia: insights from training studies
Synaesthesia denotes a condition of remarkable individual differences in experience characterized by specific additional experiences in response to normal sensory input. Synaesthesia seems to (i) run in families which suggests a genetic component, (ii) is associated with marked structural and functional neural differences, and (iii) is usually reported to exist from early childhood. Hence, syna...
متن کاملEnhanced memory ability: Insights from synaesthesia.
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 synaesthesia (typically verbal stimuli). Although there is some evidence for this, it is unlikely to be the whole explanation. For instance, not ...
متن کاملBridging the gap: Synaesthesia and multisensory processes.
Although the study of multisensory processes and the study of synaesthesia both represent burgeoning fields of inquiry, there has been little attempt to bridge between these two research topics. This is somewhat surprising, as these two are undoubtedly heavily interrelated from both a psychological and neuroscience perspective. The goal of the present issue is explore these interrelationships, ...
متن کاملResponse to Small: Crossmodal integration – insights from the chemical senses
A central prediction arising from studies of multisensory integration states that crossmodal binding should enhance measures of behavior, especially when a stimulus in one modality is degraded or ambiguous [1]. Of the human senses, olfaction is among the more underdetermined [2,3]. It thus follows that there should be substantial benefits to olfactory perception in the presence of relevant sens...
متن کاملNH3 sensors based on novel TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposites: Insights from density functional theory calculations
Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the interactions of NH3 molecules with TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposites in order to completely exploit the adsorption properties of these nanocomposites. Given the need to further comprehend the behavior of the NH3 molecules oriented between the TiO2 nanoparticle and MoS2 monolayer, we have geometrically optimized the complex systems ...
