Really enjoyed presenting at the BFE / RMA Research Students’ Conference at Sheffield University yesterday about the results of the pilot I ran for my first study about synaesthesia for reading and playing written musical keys. The study aims to demonstrate that some forms of music-colour synaesthesia are linked to conceptual processing rather than to purely perceptual processing. I’ve started collecting data for the real thing but there are more issues with deciding which participants qualify as a synaesthete than I anticipated. It is interesting and there’s a lot more work to do!
