Synesthesia fMRI study (H-20366)
Do letters or numbers seem to have individual colors in your mind? How about weekdays like Tuesday, or months like November? You may have SYNESTHESIA, a phenomenon in which concepts can trigger color experiences. A new project at the Baylor College of Medicine under the direction of Dr. David Eagleman is looking for people with synesthesia to be part of a brain imaging research study.
