GF Audio Interviews with Christina Merkley

Canadian graphic facilitator, coach and mapmaker Christina Merkley of Make Your Mark, has begun a series of podcast interviews with established graphic facilitators. In her first 2 podcasts, she explains the basics of the Graphic Recording and Graphic Facilitation genres and shares her own evolutionary story. Other interviews include: Leslie Salmon-Zhu, Jim Channon, and yours truly.

"Interdisciplinary research on synesthesia: development and

0bjective."

Regarding the general project of the interdisciplinary

investigation proposal(1) on synesthesia, outlined by Mª José de Córdoba in

the year 2000, after making contact with other groups of investigators

during the development of the 1st International Congress on Art and

Synesthesia (July of 2005 – Cuevas del Almanzora, Almería. Spain), and

through collaboration established in these last years with various groups of

investigators, several experimental groups are now currently formed to

investigate possible synesthetes amongst the student body of the Department

of Educational Sciences of Grenada University. We intend: 1º. - to introduce

and to inform future scholars of the characteristics and new knowledge of

synesthesia, as well as the importance of the existence of this condition in

regard to educational methodologies; primarily as relates to didactics of

plastic and musical expression. 2º. - to generate sufficient data to permit

us to conduct statistical studies (estadísticamente) regarding the

percentage of possible synesthetes amongst the populace; these data would

also be used for diagnostics and analyses of peculiarities amongst

synesthetes in comparative studies; 3º in the last phase of the

investigation, to hold the ability to produce an outline of a

neuro-psychological and mathematical model of the synesthetic processes.

(1) This project includes the acquisition of new knowledge that could be

useful to create new products and new procedures in representation

technologies; interfaces based on the utilization of the different senses.

Education and training; services and computer programs that permit the

design of new methods that employ multimedia and simulation systems, with

possibilities of specific applications (such as, for persons with

disabilities). Development: To be an interdisciplinary researcher (knowledge

areas: experimental psychology; didactics of plastic, corporal and musical

expression; optics; industrial physics; data processing), converted this

into an integrated project. An investigation in which each knowledge area

must transfer results for the solution (objective/ scientific/

technological) or search for solutions to the outlined common problem. Ref.
