Introduction to multisensory perception of taste
Our experience of taste is not determined solely by the chemical properties of food. Instead, it is a complex interplay of multiple senses, including sight, sound, smell, and touch. For example, the color of a dish can influence our expectations about its flavor, while the crunch of a chip or the background music in a restaurant can alter how we perceive its taste. This phenomenon is known as multisensory perception, where senses work together to craft a holistic flavor experience.
