DESCRIPTION:Two musicians with chromesthesia were the subjects of an inten
 sive case study. Musical and neuropsychological interviews and testing wer
 e conducted to determine the extent of the participant’s aural acuity an
 d synesthesia characteristics\, as well as possible concurrent neuropsycho
 logical characteristics.   One participant had aurally-based chromesthesia
  elicited only by sound for a variety of musical phenomena\, while the oth
 er had chromesthesia and grapheme-colour synesthesia for days of the week\
 , letters\, and numbers. Musical phenomena where photisms were elicited fo
 r instrument fingering\, musical scores and musical sound when the pitch w
 as known. Both demonstrated relative deficits in visuoconstruction\, atten
 tion\, and executive functioning on neuropsychological tests\, reported at
 tention deficit and compulsive symptoms\, and acknowledged auditory-langua
 ge processing dysfunction\, and social\, emotional and self-regulation dys
 function. \n\n*Bio*\n\nStephen F. Zdzinski (Ph.D.\, Indiana University) is
