Tasting and Smelling presents a comprehensive overview to
research on these two important modes of perception.
The book offers a review of findings on the
biophysics, neurophysiology, and psychophysics of both senses, as well as discussing
the emotional component associated with taste and smell, and clinical disorders affecting each of
these two senses. Tasting and Smelling answers how odors and flavors are perceived,
why we have favorites, and what happens when our senses go awry.
Contents:
Biophysics of Taste. The Neural Code and Integrative Processes of Taste. Psychophysics of Taste.
Olfactory Psychophysics. Clinical Disorders of Smell and Taste. The Ontogeny of Human Flavor
Perception.
