Abstract The purpose of our project was to determine if synesthesia effects mathematical skills, learning style, or memory. Synesthesia is the blending of two or more senses, caused by extra connections and crosswires present in the brain. For example, grapheme-colour synesthesia is the assosiation of colours with letters and numbers. So a synesthete might see b as yellow, or maybe seven is always green.
