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.
Qian Janice Wang,Line Ahm Mielby,Jonas Yde Junge,Anne Sjoerup Bertelsen,Ulla Kidmose,Charles Spence,Derek V. Byrne +6 more
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.

BBC News Online
TL;DR: BBC News Online was launched in 1997 as part of the British Broadcasting Corporation's commitment to providing high-quality impartial news coverage to as wide an audience as possible as mentioned in this paper, which includes the Web and digital television output.

Parchment-skin illusion : sound-biased touch
Veikko Jousmäki,Riitta Hari +1 more
TL;DR: A novel audiotactile interaction, ‘parchment-skin illusion’, is described, which demonstrates that sounds that are exactly synchronous with hand-rubbing may strongly modify the resulting tactile sensations.

The role of auditory cues in modulating the perceived crispness and staleness of potato chips
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether the perception of the crispness and staleness of potato chips can be affected by modifying the sounds produced during the biting action and found that the potato chips were perceived as being both crisper and fresher when either the overall sound level was increased, or when just the high frequency sounds (in the range of 2 kHz-20 kHz) were selectively amplified.

The neurocognitive bases of human multimodal food perception: Sensory integration
Justus V. Verhagen,Lina Engelen +1 more
TL;DR: This review addresses a fundamental neuroscientific question in food perception: how multimodal features of food are integrated by introducing several plausible neuroscientific models, which provide a framework for further neuroscientific exploration in this area.

The taste of carbonation.
Jayaram Chandrashekar,David A. Yarmolinsky,Lars J. von Buchholtz,Yuki Oka,William S. Sly,Nicholas J. P. Ryba,Charles S. Zuker +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the sour-sensing cells act as the taste sensors for carbonation, and showed that carbonic anhydrase 4, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored enzyme, functions as the principal CO2 taste sensor.
