These pages are demonstration pages of mixed mode deli very for an on-campus course. The curriculum and course structure has changed substantially for 1998, but these pages have been retained here as an example of a particular use of the Web in teaching.

In this class, we will be exploring our abilities with respect to odour and taste discrimination, and the relationship between these sensory perceptions. Stimuli will include a range of commonly available food and beverage.

Demonstrations

• Odour adaptation
• Odour identification
• Adaptation to salt in saliva (your own!)
• Importance of smell for taste experiences
• Variation in taste sensitivity across the tongue
• The PEPSI challenge - can you identify different colas?
