Alumni lecture

Do you see different colors in your mind when you think of the days of the week? Do you taste something in your mouth when you hear a word? Do you think of a color when you hear a certain song on the radio? If your answer to one of these questions is ‘yes’, you might be one of the 2-4% of the population who have a form of synesthesia.

On the 23rd of November the Alumni Committee will organize the first activity of the year. It will be an interesting lecture on synesthesia in room 1A21 at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. Synesthesia is a condition in which people mix their senses, for example reading letters in a specific color, even when they are printed in black and white. The lecture will be given by dr. Tessa van Leeuwen, a neurobiologist, researcher and experience expert from Nijmegen. She is currently researching the subject of synesthesia in combination with autism spectrum disorder. She will be able to tell you much more about this subject.

You are welcome at 7:00 PM and the lecture will start at 7:30 PM. The lecture will approximately end at 9:00 PM. Afterwards you are welcome to have a drink at the Common Room on the second floor of the faculty.

Price: €2.50 for members and €4.50 for non-members. You can buy your tickets online or in the common room by card (SA55).
