چکیده
This is a report on a case of color-taste synesthesia exhibited by an artist painter. This case is unique in that it is not common for color to appear as an inducer or taste as a concurrent. A comprehensive description of this particular case of synesthesia is provided first. The application and results of consistency, psychophysical, and Stroop tests are presented later. Finally, the difficulties encountered with the application of such tests are discussed.

متن کاملA taste for words and sounds: a case of lexical-gustatory and sound-gustatory synesthesia

More specifically, migraine with aura may be linked to grapheme-color synesthesia as both involve cortical hyperexcitability. In this study, 161 female synesthetes,...

Esmerelda Jones (a pseudonym) sees blue when she listens to the note C sharp played on the piano; other notes evoke different hues--so much so that the piano keys are actually color-coded, making it easier for her to remember and play musical scales. And when Jeff Coleman looks at p...
متن کاملSynesthesia, at and near its borders
INTRODUCTION In synesthesia, experiences in one domain evoke additional experiences in another, as when musical notes or letters of the alphabet evoke colors. Both the domains and their pairings are diverse. Indeed, Day’s (2013) recently tabulated 60 types of synesthesia, each referring to a different combination of inducing and induced domains. The domains conjoined through synesthesia may bel...
