Chapter 8. Taste as a holisensory experience

This chapter follows vision, audition and olfaction in part because this reflects the chronological order in which these topics were addressed within our research group. Taste, more than the other senses, prevents us from exclusively relying on the analytical distinction of the five senses grounded in the physiology of the receptors, and allows us to validate our semiotic and holistic situated cognition approach of exploring the senses.
