Are you a synaesthete – someone who experiences sensations in a different sense when experiencing other sensory modalities?

For example, when you look at certain colours, do you hear musical tones or chords? Or experience smells or tastes when listening to music?

If so, and you would be prepared to take part in some research, please consider this request from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands:

We are looking for individual synaesthetes to participate as well as families with several synaesthetes. Participants can be located anywhere worldwide – you do not need to travel to participate since all parts of the study can be done online and through the mail.

On the website you will find information about the study and on how to register. For more information you can also email us at synaesthesia@mpi.nl

Further details are here.

Please help them out by passing this information on to anyone who may be interested.
