My research focuses on synesthesia, with particular emphasis on its development, phenomenology, and neural underpinnings. I am interested in whether synesthesia constitutes a natural kind and in how philosophical and scientific approaches can be integrated to better understand atypical forms of experience.

Research Interests:

perception (vision)

imagination

consciousness

metaphor
