A time course analysis of the synesthetic colour priming effect.

چکیده
A currently unresolved issue in research on synesthesia concerns the extent to which synesthetic experiences arise automatically. To shed light on this issue, we manipulated the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) in a synesthetic colour priming task (i.e., 0 ms, 200 ms, 1,000 ms). Results show that 200-ms presentations of synesthetic inducers produce reliable synesthetic colour priming at short SOAs. Based on this finding, we conclude that synesthesia is produced by fast-acting, automatic processes.

The interaction of synesthetic and print color and its relation to visual imagery.
Synesthetic color induced by graphemes is well understood to be an automatic perceptual phenomenon paralleling print color in some ways, but also differing in others. We addressed this juxtaposition by asking how synesthetes are affected by synesthetic and print colors that are the same. We tested two groups of grapheme-color synesthetes using a basic color-priming method in which a grapheme pr...
متن کاملEnhanced semantic priming in synesthetes independent of sensory binding.
Synesthesia is the phenomenon in which individuals experience unusual involuntary cross-modal pairings. The evidence to date suggests that synesthetes have access to advantageous item-specific memory cues linked to their synesthetic experience, but whether this emphasis on item-specific memory cues comes at the expense of semantic-level processing has not been unambiguously demonstrated. Here w...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was comparison of priming and intubating dose of Atracurium on the onset of muscle relaxation time to testing an alternative method for urgent operation. one hundred, 20-30 years old men that were condidate for urgency surgery entered in this study and divided in two groups randomly. First group was relaxed with Priming dose of Atracurium. In this way, %5 mg (pr...
متن کاملCOGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE Multiple dimensions in bi-directional synesthesia
Grapheme-color synesthetes report seeing a specific color when a number is perceived. The reverse, the synesthetic experience of a specific grapheme after the percept of a color is extremely rare. However, recent studies have revealed these interactions at both behavioral and neurophysiological levels. We investigated whether similar neuronal processes (i.e. perceptual and ⁄ or attentional) may...
متن کاملWatercolor illusion induced by synesthetic colors.
1 Introduction Synesthesia, which literally means a mixing of the senses, takes on various forms, but the most common is the experience of color when viewing achromatic alphanumeric characters (Day 2005; Rich and Mattingley 2002). Called`color-graphemic synesthesia', this condition has attracted great interest recently, in part because of its potential implications for understanding neural plas...
