Dear Fieldtriplist!

We are pleased to announce our symposium on synaesthesia and 
multisensory processing from February 28th to March 1st 2014 in Hamburg.


Synaesthesia is a fascinating phenomenon in which different senses are 
mixed: for synaesthetes, specific sensory stimuli automatically trigger 
additional perceptual experiences that are not normally perceived by 
non-synaesthetes.


Studying synaesthesia is interesting by itself, allowing for exploration 
of the nature of conscious experiences. The aim of the planned 
symposium, however, is to put synaesthesia in perspective by also 
emphasizing the relevance of synaesthesia for other fields of study, 
such as multisensory processing, sensory substitution, development of 
sensory processing, and connectivity in sensory systems. Participation 
is free of charge but registration via the website is required. 
Participants are welcome to present a poster during one of the two 
poster sessions. We are looking forward to seeing you in Hamburg!
