Abstract

Grapheme-color synesthetes experience colors when presented with written language characters. In this study diffusion-weighted imaging was used to investigate white matter alterations in color-and grapheme-processing brain areas in synesthetes as a possible factor for the color sensations. Regions of interest were defined by means of neuroanatomical atlantes, functional localizer tasks and ...
