Hearing colours, tasting shapes

Do you 'see' letters or numbers or days of the week in colour? Do some of your words have a texture? Do you even taste shapes? If so, Jamie Jauncey and Lucy Richards (partners in crime on the 26 Malts project) would like to hear from you. With help from Edinburgh University's School of Psychology, they're hatching a project around synaesthesia, as this particular condition (which may affect as many as one person in two hundred) is called. They've already had a good response from an earlier mailing of 26 members, but there's still time to sign up if you didn't catch the initial call. Simply email jamie@jauncey.co.uk with a few words about how you think you experience synaesthesia, and please put 'Colours' in the subject line. Jamie and Lucy are looking forward to hearing from you.
