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

Multisensory Flavor Perception
TL;DR: This Perspective explores the contributions of distinct senses to the authors' perception of food and the growing realization that the same rules of multisensory integration that have been thoroughly explored in interactions between audition, vision, and touch may also explain the combination of the (admittedly harder to study) flavor senses.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the psychological impact of food colour
TL;DR: In this article, a large body of laboratory research has demonstrated that changing the hue or intensity/saturation of the colour of food and beverage items can exert a sometimes dramatic impact on the expectations, and hence on the subsequent experiences, of consumers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digitizing the chemical senses
TL;DR: This review, with the focus squarely on the domain of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), summarizes the state-of-the-art in the area and suggests that mixed reality solutions are currently the most plausible as far as delivering flavour experiences digitally is concerned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extrinsic Auditory Contributions to Food Perception & Consumer Behaviour: an Interdisciplinary Review.
TL;DR: The latest evidence concerning the various ways in which what the authors hear can influence what they taste leads to the growing realization that the crossmodal influences of music and noise on food perception and consumer behaviour may have some important if, as yet, unrecognized implications for public health.

The Role of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Sensory Factors in Sweetness Perception of Food and Beverages: A Review.

TL;DR: A new framework of multisensory flavour integration is proposed focusing not on the food-intrinsic/extrinsics divide, but rather on whether the sensory information is perceived to originate from within or outside the body.

Sound Perception and Food Quality.
TL;DR: The earliest work on sound analysis of food sounds was done by as discussed by the authors, who described methods for producing sounds and methods for analyzing food sounds and published detailed descriptions of sounds produced by crushing a variety of foods (Drake 1963).
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the Role of Sound in the Perception of Food and Drink
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the growing body of research, highlighting the significant effects that music and other auditory stimuli can have on people's food choices and reported a number of explanations that have been put forward to account for these cross-modal effects.

Contribution of air-and bone-conduction to the creation of sounds perceived during sensory evaluation of foods
TL;DR: Differences were shown between foods, but they could not clearly distinguish between the kinds of food.

Sensory qualities of food sounds based on individual perceptions
Zata M Vickers,Stanley Wasserman +1 more
TL;DR: Sounds emitted by eighteen foods were positioned in one- and two-dimensional spaces by the nonmetric multidimensional scaling (MDS) algorithm MINISSA and suggest two basic sensory criteria for distinguishing food sounds.

Food texture : instrumental and sensory measurement
TL;DR: Food Texture as discussed by the authors provides a broad overview of texture measurement from both the subjective (consumer) and objective (instrument) points of view and highlights the relation between objective measures and sensory perceptions.
