I can't explain the relationship between aural and visual brightness with any certainty, however I can point you at research which addresses the matter: Marks, L. E. 1978. The Unity of the Senses: Interrelations among the Modalities. New York: Academic Press. I've extracted some tables from the book for inclusion in a paper of my own on the subject: http://www.vislab.usyd.edu.au/user/alyons/synaesthesia.htm Cheers > Subject: brightness > > I am interested in analogues between visual and auditory processing. > > We describe sounds rich in high-frequency harmonics "bright".
