Science Update: Multisensory

Interesting research just completed at Oxford university in the UK: highlighting our amazing multi-sensory skills
(remember: we are just a bunch of dynamic systems bundled together NOT a machine)

crisinel et al
A bittersweet symphony: Systematically modulating the taste of food by changing the sonic properties of the soundtrack playing in the background


1. Found that the music played affected each person perception and response of the same food they all ate.
'bitter' music, forced them to respond that the food tasted 'bitter' and vice-versa with 'sweet' music and "sweet" taste!

Cherish the fact that you are merely trillions of cells befriended together!
Galvanize, amplify and optimize the 'messages' they send to each other!

PS. Just like a Pineapple isn't a single fruit (but merely lots of fruitlets combined) so are we. A combined and connected system of wonder!
