The 9:09 Project is more than just a story because it reflects the real-life experiences of its author, Mark Parsons. Like Jamison, the book’s main character, Parsons has synesthesia. This is a condition in which the brain mixes senses together. For example, someone with synesthesia might see colors when they hear music or link certain colors to numbers or letters. Parsons experiences a type called grapheme-color synesthesia, one of the most common forms. This means that when he sees letters, numbers, or days of the week, he also sees them in specific colors.
《街拍 9 点 09 分》不仅仅是一个故事，因为它反映了作者马克．帕森斯的真实生活经验。与书中的主角杰米森一样，帕森斯有联觉。这是一种大脑混合多种感官的状态。例如，有联觉的人可能会在听音乐时看到颜色，或将某些颜色与数字或字母联想在一起。帕森斯经历的是一种字位-颜色联觉，这是最常见的联觉形式之一。这意味著当他看到字母、数字或星期几时，他也会看到它们以特定的颜色呈现。
