Thanks to Professor Asano for an amazing visit to the University of Tokyo this Tuesday, and the opportunity to share some of our work on face perception in synaesthetes - you can also read about it here, if you are curious: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirec...

Thanks for a wonderful #IASAS meeting in #Amsterdam where @aurorezzy.bsky.social and I could showcase some of our latest EEG data. Great to catch up with familiar faces and meet new brilliant colleagues in the field.

In our new study we demonstrate that reading processes can create interference effects that closely resemble classic synaesthesia findings. Understanding synaesthesia therefore requires understanding the cognitive machinery that all readers share—not just what makes synaesthetes different.

Our latest paper is now available online. Here we investigate people matching musical notes to colours, higher pitches tend to feel “lighter” and lower pitches “darker”. Pitch-to-colour links seem to be relative, hinting at how our senses flexibly influence each other - brill.com/view/journal...

A duck choose to build its nest in my apple tree on my first floor balcony. After hatching and some hectic days fetching ducklings that dropped from the balcony back up to their mother, they decided to leave for new adventures in the world outside the comfort of the balcony.
