Scientific Discussion: Bridging senses: new developments in synaesthesia

External Event - 22nd to 23rd Oct 2018

22 October 2018 9:00 - 23 October 17:00

The Royal Society, London, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG

Scientific discussion meeting organised by Professor Simon E Fisher and Dr Amanda Tilot.

Experts from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and genetics will join to discuss the phenomenon of synaesthesia based on findings from major multi-year initiatives, including the first genome-wide investigations of the trait. For a research area that lacks a recurring scientific meeting, this is a rare opportunity to determine how emerging results can shape our field and build interdisciplinary collaborations.

Recorded audio of the presentations will be available on this page after the meeting has taken place. The schedule of talks and speaker biographies will be available shortly.
