The sound of art


Cognitive scientists at the University College London are conducting research on the intimate connection between art and sound. ( Link to press release.) Jamie Ward's research investigates the relationship between the perception of color, shape, and sound. Specifically, he is interested in a condition known as Synaesthesia, where sensory experiences such as sound, color, and touch combine.
( Link to collection of Synaesthesia research.) Sadly, the recent article is not (yet?) available on the web.
