The most studied variant of synesthesia is grapheme colour synesthesia, where a person perceives colours associated with numbers and letters.
Eliza Watt.
How often do synesthetes complain about their multitude of perceptions that might interfere or distract into their lives or perhaps even their
suggestion that it can be a bit disconcerting when there's an incongruence between
the synesthetic perception of something and the reality.
Just tell me about how you've studied that.
Professor Anina Rich from Macquarie University.
You're with All in the Mind on RN, I'm Lynn Malcolm, and we're discussing synesthesia.
It's a condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another.
For example, you may always perceive the colour blue with Monday or the colour orange with the number four.
You may even taste blackberries when you see the city skyline.
It's like a crossing of the senses.
Joshua Berger first became interested in synesthesia when he was studying for a medical degree.
He met a fellow student with grapheme colour synaesthesia.
She would perceive specific colours with numbers.
He was intrigued about whether she thought synesthesia affected her learning.
Joshua Berger was inspired to take up full-time research into synesthesia at the University of Sydney.
He and his friend decided to develop a coloured calculator to see if this would help her math's anxiety.
To further investigate how helpful a self-coloured calculator could be, Joshua Berger set up an experiment.
He devised a mathematics test for a group of people with grapheme coloured synesthesia.
