Bleuler, Eugen (1857 - 1939)

Swiss psychiatrist. Originator of the term “schizophrenia”.

Cailliau, Sir Robert

Computer scientist; co-developer of the World Wide Web.

Carswell, Stephanie. Australian actress and soprano.

"Monday is yellow; Tuesday is quite a deep red; Wednesday is sort of a grass green; Thursday is a much darker green but still quite bright; Friday has always confused me, it’s either a very dark purple, blue or grey; Saturday is white; and Sunday is sort of a light peach colour. For anyone who doesn’t understand what’s happening here, I have a neurological condition called synesthesia which means that I ‘see’ words in colours."

Chester, Geoffry V. Professor emeritus; physicist.

d’Abbadie, Antoine (1810 - 1897)

French geographer and explorer.

Feynman, Richard (1918 - 1988)

Winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics. Feynman had colored letters and numbers.

"When I see equations, I see the letters in colors – I don't know why. As I'm talking, I see vague pictures of Bessel functions from Jahnke and Emde's book, with light-tan j's, slightly violet-bluish n's, and dark brown x's flying around. And I wonder what the hell it must look like to the students."

Feynman, Richard. 1988. What Do You Care What Other People Think? New York: Norton. P. 59.

"Each number had its own personality—masculine or feminine, perfect or incomplete, beautiful or ugly. This feeling modern mathematics has deliberately eliminated, but we still find overtones of it in fiction and poetry. Ten was the very best number ..." (see Brumbaugh 1981: 35).

	Tenberken, Sabriye

of "Braille Without Borders".

		"Tenberken had impaired vision almost from birth, but was able to make out faces and landscapes until she was 12. As a child in Germany, she had a particular predilection for colours, and loved painting, and when she was no longer able to decipher shapes and forms she could still use colours to identify objects. Tenberken has, indeed an intense synaesthesia. "'As far back as I can remember,' she writes, 'numbers and words have instantly triggered colours in me ... number four, for example [is] gold. Five is light green. Nine is vermillion... Days of week, as well as months, have their colours, too.' Her synaesthesia has persisted and been intensified, it seems, by her blindness" [from http://www.fortunecity.com/emachines/e11/86/blind.html ].

von Osten-Sacken, Baron Karl-Robert (1828 - 1906)

Russian diplomat and entomologist.
