VII International Congress Synesthesia: Science and Art
SYNESTHESIA is the term used to describe a set of cognitive states related to the union of the senses. Synesthesias are genuine perceptions, not memorized visual associations from childhood or metaphorical speech. They are produced by hyper-connectivity among the cerebral areas. Neurologically speaking, if the crossing is extensive, that is to say, if the interconnections are related to cerebral parts that process or represent summaries of concepts, this would explain links between creativity, metaphor and synesthesia, with the consequent greater incident among poets and artists. The latest investigations carried out in this field turn out to be extremely interesting for knowledge of the human mind. It is an open window to our brain which may allow us to resolve many cognitive relationships with perception and thought. For this reason, the University of Granada, the International Foundation Artecittá, and the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), have collaborated jointly in the organization of the 7st International Congress on Synesthesia: Science and Art (first Edition 2005, in Cuevas de Almanzora, Spain), for the purpose of showing and exploring the advancements made by European experts and American investigators o great prestige, in each of the numerous aspects of synesthesia. The interdisciplinary focus of the Congress that we present enables all those interested to approach a territory as exciting as the one that occupies us, being especially directed towards neurologists, psychologists, artists, linguists, art historians, designers, musicians, educators and investigators of sensory disabilities, students and synesthetes of all categories.

List of Topics
This VII edition 2022 of the International Congress of Synaesthesia: Science and Art, for the first time, presents a novel topic, in order to deepen the studies on synaesthesia following a
specific common key, not excluding the lines and topics of research that have always been addressed in our congresses: The digital/physical challenge.
Undoubtedly, the digital has become more invasive, permeating our daily and working lives.
- Track1: How have synesthesia studies been affected by this transformation?
- Track2: How have synesthetes experienced this transformation?
- Track3: How have didactics and training in creativity and synaesthesia changed theirmethods? How can the accessibility of content and artifacts through synaesthetic translation befacilitated by applying digital technologies?
- Track4: How have artists and musicians, digital/physical exhibition events, changed the synaesthetic involvement of the audience?
