Colours of Our Mind: The Science of Synaesthesia

Did you know some people can taste words or see music? Welcome to the fascinating world of synaesthesia: a unique way of experiencing the world where the senses blend together.

Our guest speaker: Mary Spiller

Mary Spiller, Senior Lecturer at the University of East London, will offer us a glimpse into this wondrous phenomenon.

Mary’s research explores how our senses can cross-wire in surprising and creative ways, opening up fresh ways of seeing the world. 

Our guest poet: Lydia Daisy

We’re thrilled to welcome Lydia back to our assemblies. She will use her poetry to give us a fresh sense of sensory experiences.

Hear some of Lydia’s poetry on her Instagram.
