I am a high school science research student studying synesthesia. What should I do?

Question

I am preparing for an experiment on grapheme color synesthesia. If anyone has ideas or advice for me to use or do in preparation I would greatly appreciate it. (no journal articles please)

Answer 1

The typical experiment they use is the one where all the 2's and 5's are mixed in together, and they check to see how fast the synesthete can find all the 2's.  Since synnies see graphemes in certain colors, this is easily done.  However, some synnies have 'strong associations' of colors for graphemes, and don't actually 'see' the colors projected on paper; only in their minds' eye.

Try googling Dr. Richard Cytowic; he has done the most recent research on the subject.

Answer 2

Submit your 20 page reseach paper as a 20 second audiocassette of random vocalizations and other noise and tell the professor it's done.
