    You might be interested in checking out
the discussion on synesthesia we had on this
list between 1 Dec 1999 and 13 Dec 1999.
    Also, on 4 Feb 2000, I posted the following info
that I had come across:

Re the recent (more or less :-) ) thread about synesthesia
on this list, I'd like to share a couple of things I came across
in the Feb edition of "Discover" magazine:

1. Dr. Peter Grossenbacher of the National Institute of Mental Health
    in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, is apparently doing research
    on the topic.

    His e-mail address is given as:  Peter_Grossenbacher@nih.gov
    His telephone is given as:  301-496-7672 .

2. There is an e-mail list devoted to synesthesia:
    Sean Day's Synesthesia List. Its e-mail address
    is given as:   daysa@cc.ncu.edu.tw
