Synaesthesia: The Sounds of Moving Patterns
نویسنده
چکیده
A newly reported form of synaesthesia in which seeing visual motion induces auditory experiences challenges traditional ideas about the neural mechanisms of synaesthesia and may shed light on how the brain integrates information from sound and vision.

Do colourless green voices speak furiously? Linkages between phonetic and visual perception in synaesthesia
Synaesthesia is an unusual phenomenon, in which additional sensory perceptions are triggered by apparently unrelated sensory or conceptual stimuli. The main foci of this presentation lie in vowel sound colour and voice-induced synaesthesia. While grapheme-colour synaesthesia has been intensively researched using various methodologies (neurological studies, extensive interviews, and behavioural ...
متن کاملLexical-gustatory synaesthesia: linguistic and conceptual factors.
This study documents an unusual case of developmental synaesthesia, in which speech sounds induce an involuntary sensation of taste that is subjectively located in the mouth. JIW shows a highly structured, non-random relationship between particular combinations of phonemes (rather than graphemes) and the resultant taste, and this is influenced by a number of fine-grained phonemic properties (e....
متن کاملWhat is the link between synaesthesia and sound symbolism?
Sound symbolism is a property of certain words which have a direct link between their phonological form and their semantic meaning. In certain instances, sound symbolism can allow non-native speakers to understand the meanings of etymologically unfamiliar foreign words, although the mechanisms driving this are not well understood. We examined whether sound symbolism might be mediated by the sam...
متن کاملBeyond colour perception: Auditory–visual synaesthesia induces experiences of geometric objects in specific locations
Our brain constantly integrates signals across different senses. Auditory-visual synaesthesia is an unusual form of cross-modal integration in which sounds evoke involuntary visual experiences. Previous research primarily focuses on synaesthetic colour, but little is known about non-colour synaesthetic visual features. Here we studied a group of synaesthetes for whom sounds elicit consistent vi...
متن کاملAcquiring 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...
