It may come as no surprise that people who make a living designing or interpreting the world around us, think differently from the rest of us. Using a novel technique, a scientist in Bangor has shown that painters, sculptors and architects describe images and spaces in far more elaborate, detailed descriptions than people in unrelated professions.

And it got us thinking, here on Science Caf茅, about how your career may well change the way you think.

So Adam Walton talks to Dr Thora Tenbrink,听a researcher involved in this fascinating cognitive thinking study by Bangor University and the UCL. Thora helped devise the听 Cognitive听Discourse Analysis methodology. We also hear sculptor Diane Maclean and architect Ruth Dalton give their views on the subject.

Adam听also chats to听a synaesthete 鈥撎齛 group of people who definitely thinks differently, because听 their senses are linked together in the brain. James Wannerton is the president听 of the UK Synaesthesia Association. He can taste sounds. So can you guess what Adam's voice tastes like?
