Does Timbre Modulate Visual Perception? Exploring Crossmodal Interactions
Musical timbre is often described using terms from non-auditory senses, mainly vision and touch; but it is not clear whether crossmodality in timbre semantics reflects multisensory processing or simply linguistic convention. If multisensory processing is involved in timbre perception, the mechanism governing the interaction remains unknown. To investigate whether timbres commonly perceived as “bright-dark” facilitate or interfere with visual perc…
Synesthesia, Then and Now
Puzzling in its diversity and resistant to simple theoretical accounts, synesthesia has been a subject of scrutiny and investigation for more than a century. Over 30 years ago, the present author treated synesthesia as a perceptual, cross-modal phenomenon, in which a stimulus presented in one modality produces an additional sensation in another, and sought to understand synesthesia in light of principles of multisensory processing, under a broad …
Memory for curvature of objects
The present study examined the role of vision and haptics in memory for stimulus objects that vary along the dimension of curvature. Experiment 1 measured haptic‐haptic (T‐T) and haptic‐visual (T‐V) discrimination of curvature in a short‐term memory paradigm, using 30‐second retention intervals containing five different interpolated tasks. Results showed poorest performance when the interpolated tasks required spatial processing or movement, ther…
Bright Colors, Falsely Seen
A Multimodal Assessment of Sensory Thresholds in Aging
Young and elderly subjects yielded forced-choice detection thresholds in each of seven sensory tasks: (1) taste of sodium chloride, (2) smell of butanol, (3) cooling, (4) low-frequency vibrotaction, (5) high-frequency vibrotaction, (6) low-frequency hearing, and (7) high-frequency hearing. Average scores across these tasks nearly perfectly separated the 22 elderly from the 15 young subjects. For individual modalities, however, separation between …

On Perceptual Metaphors
Metaphors reflect processes of thinking and, consequently, appear not just in language but in perception as well. A notable example of metaphorical perception is synesthesia, in which music or voices may be perceived to have shapes, textures, or colors. Another example is physiognomic perception, in which dark objects may be perceived as gloomy or bright ones may be perceived as happy. Synesthetic perception and physiognomic perception alike reve…
