The previous UKSA conference in Edinburgh proved to be a great success and
provided a great opportunity for synaesthetes to meet each other and learn
about scientific and artistic explorations of synaesthesia. Hopefully, we
will get to meet some of you in Brighton, March 27 - 28, 2010!
James Wannerton (On behalf of the UKSA committee).
