Karina/brain books synesthesia

Zsofi can associate colours to words and sounds
"That's why I was good at learning the piano. I had a connection to the memory. I had a feeling for the colour and how it should be played."

Brain Book about synesthesia.

Colour palette to show the colours for different words
Possibly the object could be shown in the felt colour (apple is light light brown / yellowish / greenish)

When interviewing / researching with Zsofi

Numbers have a clear distinct colour (2 is light / bright green)
Some words are represented with a few different hues. (Duck is dark green, black)
Some words are obvious (banana is yellow) but could also have a feeling (banana is 'generally a warm feeling')
Helps if I ask her word for word, not a list and ask which ones are 'orange'
She finds it difficult to describe colours using words - colour vocabulary is limited. Easier if presented with a pantone palette
Sometimes hesitates with English words, makes clearer / faster connections with Hungarian words
