Synesthesia: Why do some people associate letters with color?

Our laboratory has been studying synesthesia for eight years. In that time, we've tested thousands of synesthetes of all varieties, gathered the DNA from 8 synesthetic family trees, and performed neuroimaging. We value the opportunity to explain our research to a wider audience, and to that end our research has appeared in several popular outlets.

Here are some print articles about our synesthesia research:

What Flavor Is Your Rainbow? - Dr. Kiki's Science Hour, August 2010

Why I and O are dull for synaesthetes - New Scientist, Nov 2007

Finding the Gene that Makes People Hear Shapes and Taste Words - UT Houston Medicine, May 2006
