Congruence or coherence? Emotional and physiological responses to colours in synaesthesia

Synaesthesia: The Prevalence of Atypical Cross-Modal Experiences

The first test of synaesthesia prevalence with sampling that does not rely on self-referral, and which uses objective tests to establish genuineness is presented, and it is suggested that female biases reported earlier likely arose from (or were exaggerated by) sex differences in self-disclosure.
Types of synaesthesia.
