Examining the neurological and psychological aspects of oral sensation. This is being done through various psychophysical methods, quantitative sensory testing and electrophysiology. During the project we aim to add further understanding of why it is that individuals experience the oral sensory world differently and the impacts these different perceptions have on the individual. This will be done by examining the impact of taster status (a genetic polymorphism) on oral sensory processing and investigating if perceived state of mouth influences subjective and affective states such as self-confidence
