Art & Synesthesia Research:
extending the synesthetic code
- Intro: Welcome to the 'Art and Synesthesia' site of Dr. Hugo Heyrman, Ph.D. in Art Sciences. Are synesthetes people of the future? —to answer this question, and as a consequence of my scientific and artistic passion for Art and Synesthesia, I created this portal on Synesthesia, online since 1995 —to present relevant sources on the art & mind connection, theory, experiments and research on the future of the senses. Homepage of the 'Belgian Synesthesia Association' (BSA).
- Mission: To explore the multisensory interactions of synesthesia. To connect synesthetes and their synesthetic experience with interested non-synesthetes worldwide. To develop a synesthesia culture by connecting art and synesthesia. To promote study, research and understanding of synesthesia in educational, social, cultural and artistic contexts.

More on Synesthesia *Synesthesia (also spelled synæsthesia or synaesthesia, plural synesthesiae or synaesthesiae) —from the Ancient Greek σύν (syn), meaning “with” and αἴσθησις (aisthēsis), meaning “sensation” —is a neurological condition in which otherwise normal people experience the blending of two or more senses. In one common form of synesthesia, known as grapheme → color synesthesia, letters or numbers are perceived as inherently colored, while in ordinal linguistic personification, numbers, days of the week and months of the year evoke personalities. In spatial-sequence, or number form synesthesia, numbers, months of the year, and/or days of the week elicit precise locations in space (for example, 1980 may be “farther away” than 1990), or may have a three-dimensional view of a year as a map (clockwise or counterclockwise). —Definition from Wikipededia.* "If you ask synesthetes if they wish to be rid of it, they almost always say no. For them, it feels like that's what normal experience is like. To have that taken away would make them feel like they were being deprived of one sense."
—Simon Baron-Cohen, synesthesia researcher at the University of Cambridge.
* "Synesthesia has implications for every major aspect of cognition: perception, attention, language, memory, emotion, and consciousness. In turn, in order to understand synaesthesia, one has to consider these aspects as well as their development and neural basis." —Noam Sagiv* "Synesthesia is a love story between the senses" —Dr. Hugo Heyrman
