TLDR
A growing body of research now shows that by synchronizing eating sounds with the act of consumption, one can change a person's experience of what they think that they are eating.Abstract:
Sound is the forgotten flavour sense. You can tell a lot about the texture of a food—think crispy, crunchy, and crackly—from the mastication sounds heard while biting and chewing. The latest techniques from the field of cognitive neuroscience are revolutionizing our understanding of just how important what we hear is to our experience and enjoyment of food and drink. A growing body of research now shows that by synchronizing eating sounds with the act of consumption, one can change a person’s experience of what they think that they are eating.read more

Crossmodal Basing
TL;DR: Schutz and Kubovy as discussed by the authors argue that perceptual states can also be based on reasons, as the result of cross-modal interactions, and identify key markers of the basing relation and locates them in the crossmodal Marimba Illusion.

Oral Processing of Lipids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive picture about the oral behavior of lipids and their perception during oral processing, including influence of saliva during mastication, bolus formation and food-saliva interactions as well as saliva properties on oil/fat perception.

Sensory modality profiles of antonyms
TL;DR: The authors studied the distribution of the combinations of dominant modalities in pairs of antonymic sensory adjectives and found that adjectives with the dominant modality sight can also be used for touch and vice versa.

Chapter 2. Analysis of the use of Japanese mimetics in the eating and imagined eating of rice crackers
TL;DR: This article explored how Japanese mimetics are used to verbally express the texture of rice crackers in real and imagined cases and found that the degree of iconicity of the same mimetics can vary according to the contexts in which they are used.

Humans integrate visual and haptic information in a statistically optimal fashion.
TL;DR: The nervous system seems to combine visual and haptic information in a fashion that is similar to a maximum-likelihood integrator, and this model behaved very similarly to humans in a visual–haptic task.

The Merging of the Senses
Barry E. Stein,M. Alex Meredith +1 more
TL;DR: The authors draw on their own experiments to illustrate how sensory inputs converge on individual neurons in different areas of the brain, how these neurons integrate their inputs, the principles by which this integration occurs, and what this may mean for perception and behavior.

The Ventriloquist Effect Results from Near-Optimal Bimodal Integration
David Alais,David C. Burr +1 more
TL;DR: This study investigates spatial localization of audio-visual stimuli and finds that for severely blurred visual stimuli, the reverse holds: sound captures vision while for less blurred stimuli, neither sense dominates and perception follows the mean position.
