Thanks to all the people who dropped by our poster at the #FENS Forum today to hear a bit about our work on #synaesthesia

Associate professor at Aalborg University, Denmark. Intersted in perception and cognition, and particularly individual variation in how our brain is shaped.
Thanks to Professor Asano for an amazing visit to the University of Tokyo this Tuesday, and the opportunity to share some of our work on face perception in synaesthetes - you can also read about it here, if you are curious: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirec...
ATTENTION!!! The program of Working Memory Symposium (WMS) 2026 (July 14-17) is out! sites.google.com/view/wmsympo... This year, WMS will feature a single stream presentation of 52 talks (39 talks and 13 blitz) + 1 panel discussion across 4 days. Looking forward to seeing you all!!!

Congratulations to the Sino-Danish graduates of 2026, particularly Shiyao, Kang, and Liuming. It has been a pleasure to be your thesis supervisor. Also, congratulations to my AAU student Hildur on her important thesis work with neuropsychological norms in the Faroe Islands - excellent work!
Thanks for a wonderful #IASAS meeting in #Amsterdam where @aurorezzy.bsky.social and I could showcase some of our latest EEG data. Great to catch up with familiar faces and meet new brilliant colleagues in the field.
In our new study we demonstrate that reading processes can create interference effects that closely resemble classic synaesthesia findings. Understanding synaesthesia therefore requires understanding the cognitive machinery that all readers share—not just what makes synaesthetes different.

Our latest paper is now available online. Here we investigate people matching musical notes to colours, higher pitches tend to feel “lighter” and lower pitches “darker”. Pitch-to-colour links seem to be relative, hinting at how our senses flexibly influence each other - brill.com/view/journal...
