For my STEAM project, I surveyed 10 people in the Emma Willard community to find out which ones had synesthesia, a neurological condition in which one stimulus triggers an unrelated stimulus in another sense. To do this, I asked them to pick which color they associated with a certain letter or number and repeated the process 1-2 months later. Synesthesia is consistent so if the colors associated with each letter and number stayed the same, it would mean that person was a synesthete. I found out that one of the participants had number-color synesthesia, and most non-synesthetes had an average of 1.5 out of 6 color associations that stayed the same. One thing that challenged me was actually making myself go up to people and ask them to participate in my project. I don’t like to inconvenience people and I have a really hard time going up to people. This part would have been the easiest for some people, but for me it was very difficult. I really enjoyed looking at the data because it was so visual. It was also fun to compare other people’s associations to my own. I would tell a future STEAM researcher to pick a project they are interested in and have fun doing it. I enjoyed my project a lot, and I would like to thank Ms. Harrison for being a great mentor.
