Eating with our ears: assessing the importance of the sounds of consumption on our perception and enjoyment of multisensory flavour experiences
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

Taste This Score
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present an investigation on some of the possibilities of musical and sonic writing through the incorporation of images of food textures, as well as the compositional and performative possibilities of transmodal digital dynamic scores (video scores).

Hicclip: A Smart Sealing Rack Using Interactive Sounds to Intervene Snack Addictions
TL;DR: A smart snacking sealing rack that leverages eating-related sounds as persuasive strategies to interact with different snacking behaviors of the user to possibly intervene snacking addictions and investigate the embodiment of persuasive technology in existing snack-related product for enhancing the adoption of health intervention.
The effects of including almonds in an energy-restricted diet on weight, body composition, visceral adipose tissue, blood pressure and cognitive function
TL;DR: Evaluating the effects of almond consumption as part of an energyrestricted diet on weight, visceral and subcutaneous adipose depots and blood pressure compared to a nut-free energy restricted diet found almonds which are higher in fat and lower in carbohydrate may be able to reduce this post lunch dip in cognition.

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

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.
