Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.16.520766v1?rss=1 Authors: Michalareas, G., Kusnir, F., Thut, G., Gross, J. Abstract: Grapheme-colour synaesthetes experience an anomalous form of perception in which graphemes systematically induce specific colour concurrents in their mind's eye ("associator" type). Although grapheme-colour synaesthesia has been well characterized behaviourally, its neural mechanisms remain largely unresolved. There are currently several competing models, which can primarily be distinguished according to the anatomical and temporal predictions of synaesthesia-inducing neural activity. The first main model (Cross-Activation/ Cascaded Cross-Tuning) posits early recruitment of occipital colour areas in the initial feed-forward sweep of brain activity. The second (Disinhibited Feedback) posits: (i) later involvement of a multisensory convergence zone (for example, in parietal cortices) after graphemes have been processed in their entirety; and (ii) subsequent feedback to early visual areas (i.e., occipital colour areas). In this study, we examine both the timing and anatomical correlates of associator grapheme-colour synaesthetes (n=6) using MEG. Using unbiased analysis methods with little a priori assumptions, we applied Independent Component Analysis (ICA) on a single-subject level to identify the dominant patterns of the induced, synaesthetic percept. We observed evoked activity that significantly dissociates between synaesthesia-inducing and non-inducing conditions at approximately 190 ms following grapheme presentation. This effect is present in grapheme-colour synaesthetes, but not in matched controls, and exhibits an occipito-parietal topology localised consistently across individuals to extrastriate visual cortices and to superior parietal lobes. Due to the observed timing of this evoked activity and its localisation, our results support a model predicting relatively late synaesthesia-inducing activity, more akin to the Disinhibited Feedback model. In light of previous findings, our study suggest that differential timing and neural mechanisms may account for associator grapheme-colour synaesthetes, as compared to projectors.

Grapheme, this six month old band (when they came in the studio) mesmerized me with their spiritual blending of many musical types. Later, I get a phone call from the engineer Barrett Tasky, who is in the middle of mixing this show absolutely raving about this band. I have a hunch that you will also.

Die vorliegende Arbeit will ein differenziertes und konsistentes Strukturmodell des deutschen Schriftsystems entwickeln. Noch immer fußt die Schriftlinguistik auf unsoliden theoretischen Grundlagen: So sind für das Graphem zwei verschiedene, einander widersprechende Definitionen in Gebrauch, die oft sogar miteinander vermischt werden. Zudem erschöpft sich die Graphematik, reduziert auf die Rolle einer Hilfswissenschaft der Orthographie, traditionell in der Betrachtung von Graphem-Phonem-Korrespondenzen und ignoriert in der Folge alle schriftlichen Erscheinungen, die nicht mit diesem Instrumentarium zu erfassen sind – etwa Zeichen wie oder oder , die unerlässlicher und selbstverständlicher Teil des täglichen Schriftgebrauchs sind. Und die vielfältigen Formen von Allographie werden allenfalls als Randerscheinung erwähnt, anstatt sie als Phänomen zu begreifen, das nach Systematisierung verlangt. Eine so betriebene Graphematik wird ihrer Aufgabe, das Schriftsystem des Deutschen vollständig zu erfassen, nicht gerecht. Ursache und zugleich Ausdruck dieses Missstandes ist das unzulängliche, gleichwohl etablierte Modell, das nur zwei Arten hierarchisierter Einheiten kennt: Grapheme und Graphen. Zur Revision und Fortentwicklung dieses Modells formuliert die vorliegende Arbeit einen Graphembegriff, der zwischen kleinsten schriftlichen Einheiten und phonemabbildenden Einheiten unterscheidet und auch Nichtbuchstaben ins System inkorporiert. Zehn verschiedene Erscheinungsformen von Allographie werden klassifiziert und insbesondere jene aufschlussreichen Fälle betrachtet, in denen die Wahl einer Verschriftungsvariante nicht orthographisch festgelegt, sondern von Einflüssen anderer linguistischer Ebenen gelenkt ist – etwa vom grammatischen Umfeld, lexikalischen Bezügen oder medialen Bedingungen. Besonderes Gewicht wird auf die Graphetik gelegt: Die äußere Form von Schriftzeichen wird in der Linguistik oft völlig ausgeblendet – dabei ist es ja gerade die Physis, die Schrift ausmacht. Diese Arbeit versucht indes, auch typographische Aspekte in die Linguistik einzubringen, denn in einigen Belangen erweist sich auch die Gestalt von Schriftzeichen als systematisch relevant. Als Ergebnis all dieser Erörterungen wird das etablierte Strukturmodell auf vier hierarchisierte Beschreibungsebenen erweitert, deren Einheiten tentativ als Phonemabbilder, Grapheme, Grundformen und Graphen bezeichnet werden.
