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 點 09 分》不僅僅是一個故事，因為它反映了作者馬克．帕森斯的真實生活經驗。與書中的主角傑米森一樣，帕森斯有聯覺。這是一種大腦混合多種感官的狀態。例如，有聯覺的人可能會在聽音樂時看到顏色，或將某些顏色與數字或字母聯想在一起。帕森斯經歷的是一種字位-顏色聯覺，這是最常見的聯覺形式之一。這意味著當他看到字母、數字或星期幾時，他也會看到它們以特定的顏色呈現。
