23rd September Session 3: Multi-Sensory Design: Enhancing Taste through the Senses

Eating is a behaviour we all engage in several times per day. We just love food that smells and tastes nice. But how exactly do we perceive our food? Smell and taste we all know, and they are much more complicated than we think. In addition, I will highlight some of the other many and lesser known senses that you use when you eat.
