James Onrton have a fairly normal arrange life. Is British, working in the profession of Technology and at certain angles looks a bit like Levin. All this is pretty boring. But James and Onrton can - not controlled - do something very special. Taste words. Every time he read or hear a word he felt a certain taste in your mouth. Every word (or almost every word) has a different flavor. The name "David", for example, filling his mouth suck you feel when you taste the same.
And Onrton is an example of someone Sinstti, the language of synesthesia. Synesthesia is a condition in which two (or more) of our five senses are mixed, probably by different brain wiring, and perception in one affects the other. And Onrton Eve special Synesthesia Language (involving the sense of sight and hearing) with flavor. Other people can experience synesthesia of sound and color to the character F-sharp, say, make them see a green spot, but Sol will make them see a yellow spot.
We still do not know much about synesthesia and how much is common around arrange the world. But it turns out that connections between seemingly senses do not belong together are in all of us, even those who are not Sinstteim. An interesting example of this is the relationship between music and food.
What is the music and food? For starters, I can attest that a lot more fun to cook with music. But is the music we hear affects the quality of the point that we feel in the mouth? Are the sounds we hear while eating arrange affect the flavors we feel on pleasure or our food? Does music affect our behavior as consumers of food? Hear it fresh
To approach this question from several directions, from the simplest sounds related to eating (chewing noises, sip, pumping soup spoon) to music. Baselines. All of you may recognize the sound that fills your head when you bite into something very crisp. Potato chips, for example. Or pretzels. Remember what the advertising slogan of pretzels arrange Osem? "You can hear it fresh." And for good reason, the sound of crunchy food is very distinct. But how sound affects the sense of crispness we experience? To answer this question the study was conducted as follows: subjects were invited to sit in soundproof booth where a microphone and headphones. They were put on the headphones and eating Pringles. Sound bite Pringles absorbed by the microphone and sent to subjects through headphones. In some cases they heard the original sound as the microphone picks up. But in other cases the sound greatly arrange amplified before reaching the headphones. In one case, a simple sound very intensified. After each bite subjects rated the degree of crispness and the degree of freshness. The results showed that when the sound is crisp intensified Pringles were felt more and more fresh.
The sound of the crisp bite of food is perhaps the most distinctive sound from the sounds of eating. But what about the sound not directly related to the process of eating itself? Interesting study conducted in the Netherlands and was recently published (PDF) examined the effect of white noise to experience the taste of different foods. The subjects taste four different dishes each of which was sweet or salty, soft or crisp. For example, Pringles (starring again) was salty and crispy, compared with soft cheese was too salty. During the tasting were tested with headphones and hear different sounds. In one case, a strong white noise was played, in another case a weak white noise and a third case not played any noise (but the subjects were left with headphones). For all delicious subjects rated the degree arrange of sweetness, saltiness and crispness, as well as how the food is delicious. Upload a photo printing results interesting. When subjects heard loud white noise they felt less sweet foods and less saline versus the other two conditions (weak white noise or no noise). In contrast, when the white noise was strong foods (all) were seen more crisp. In a way, it seems like loud noise "plowing" the sweet and salty flavors arrange but increased arrange brittleness. Perhaps, then, the background noise - they are strong - reducing the strength of reasons unrelated to the sound but may increase as the flavor components related to the sound, arrange like crispness. Taste of background noise
White noise is, wanted to work pretty boring and neutral. What about the more complex noises? What about the sounds that have a semantic or cultural significance for us? Heston Blumenthal is famous British chef considered one of the world's most innovative molecular cooking. His restaurant three Michelin stars award-Fat Duck served for several years dish called "Sound of the Sea" consisting of seafood and trying to convey arrange the feeling of the beach. In addition to the packet design, interesting in itself in terms of materials and textures, the dish is served with an iPod with which diners listening to sounds from the beach. According to Blumenthal, beach sounds heard while eating the dish enhance the flavors of the dish sea. Really? To his credit, he Blumenthal arrange takes his job seriously. He perceives himself as a scientist and researcher really getting his assumptions. This dish was born out of research he has made with the University of Oxford. Study subjects were asked to taste oysters submitted one of two ways. Once oysters were served from a wooden arrange basket sounds are played in the background of the sea. The second time oysters arrange were served on a petri dish sounds were heard in the background Animal Farm. The results showed that oysters served with sea sounds delicious and experienced more pleasant. However, it should be noted that the study a little problematic because arrange once serving oysters in a petri dish can be assumed that regardless of the sound they will experience arrange less natural and therefore less tasty. A Taste of Music
There is no doubt that wealth soundscape largest and most complex we know comes from the music. It's time to ask how the music itself affects our experiences. French composer Berlioz wrote in his Treatise on Instrumentation for "sweet and sour tone" of the oboe. Try, imagine the sound of an oboe (or listen to it, for example the theme from "Cinema Paradiso"). Is it appropriate to describe the sound of sweet and sour? Now consider a good dive. Which point you can associate this sound? In a study published two years ago examined the strength of associations between sounds
