Biological Plan
Outline the key features of synaesthesia. Discuss what can be learnt from research about
the biological basis of synaesthesia.
Key features –
Perceptual condition
Involuntary Blending of senses (hear colours, taste names)
Lifetime condition
Idiosyncratic (individuals effected differently)
Research –
Eagleman David M. (2010). Synaesthesia BMJ.
Johns Hopkins Medicine. (2018).
Discussion Points –
Treatments – brain surgery, drug treatments
Research to be done – longitudinal proposal?
Implications of condition and potential further knowledge to be gained about the human
brain.
