All parts can be completed from home, anywhere in the world! The tests ask you to choose the colour that you associate with Letters/Numbers, Weekdays, or Months.You do not have to travel to participate. Our large study focuses on grapheme-colour synaesthesia. It's ok if your family members have different types of synaesthesia!
If you think your family might be a good fit for our synaesthesia families project, please email us at synaesthesia mpi.nl. The two branches help us to understand synaesthesia genetics from different perspectives Our synaesthesia research program has two branches - a smaller study focused on families with many synaesthetes, and a large main study looking at unrelated people with synaesthesia. In the Language and Genetics Department, we are interested in finding the genetic basis of synaesthesia. We are applying the latest genomic methods to search for molecular genetic clues and to investigate overlaps with other brain-related traits. Still, the biology underlying this intriguing trait remains largely mysterious. It has been known for well over a century that synaesthesia runs in families, suggesting a role for inherited factors. This kind of sensory cross-talk develops during early childhood and takes diverse forms: some people with synaesthesia see colours when listening to music, others experience taste sensations when reading particular words, and so on. Interested in learning more about synaesthesia and our research?Īs many as 1 in 25 people have synaesthesia, a condition in which an experience with one sense automatically leads to perception in another.
