  Title: Visual Shapes and Emojis Capture Aspects of Basic Tastes and Spiciness via Shared Connotative Meaning Authors: Yuki Nishida, Miho Nishiguchi, Yurina Kawahara, Kazuya Matsubara, Mio Nishiyama, Kaori Asakawa, So Osawa, and Yuji Wada Journal: Food Quality and Preference Date: November 2026 Article: 105997 Volume: Volume 145 Published by: Elsevier https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0950329326001515 Abstract: When encouraged to do so, people associate visual symbols, such as shapes or emojis, with specific tastes or oral sensations, but the psychological mechanisms behind such associations remain poorly understood. One hypothesis is that shared connotative meaning, including evaluative and affective aspects, contributes to crossmodal correspondences, although it does not fully account for them. We examined whether and to what extent shared connotative meaning contributes to associations between tastes and symbols. In Experiment 1, participants rated the conn...

One hypothesis is that shared connotative meaning, including evaluative and affective aspects, contributes to crossmodal correspondences, although it does not fully account for them. We examined whether and to what extent shared connotative meaning contributes to associations between tastes and symbols. In Experiment 1, participants rated the connotative meanings evoked by six solutions corresponding to the five basic tastes and spiciness, 36 computer-generated shapes, and 30 emojis using...

Title: Amplifying Trigeminal Flavour: Enhancing Spiciness and Coolness by Electrical and Olfactory Stimulation Authors: Masaki Ohno, Satoshi Tanaka, Kazuma Aoyama, Yuji Wada, Takuji Narumi Journal: CHI '26: Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Article No: 511, Pages   1   -   17 doi: https://doi.org/10.1145/3772318.3791438 CHI 2026は、2026年4月13日（月）から4月17日（金）までの5日間、スペイン・バルセロナの Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona（CCIB）で開催されました。CHIは、Human-Computer Interaction（HCI）分野を代表する国際会議であり、人と情報技術、インタフェース、身体、感覚、社会との関わりを扱う重要な研究発表の場です。採択論文はACM Digital Libraryに査読付き会議録論文として掲載されます。 Abstract Digital flavour modulation represents a significant research challenge within Human-Food Interaction. Previous work has focused on modulating basic tastes, while the modulation of trigeminal sensations such as spiciness and coolness remains underexplored. Spicy and cool substances contribute substantially to the sensory appeal of food and beverages; h...

Proactive experiences of vibrotactile stimuli enhance learners' task-specific confidence in cooking skills Authors: Sana Inoue, Kakagu Komazaki, Yuji Wada and Junji Watanabe Journal:  Frontiers in Virtual Reality, section Haptics Volume 6 - 2025 |  https://doi.org/10.3389/frvir.2025.1623119 Abstract: In skill acquisition, learners' motivation plays an important role. Based on embodied cognition and haptic learning, we hypothesized that vibro-acoustic stimuli could serve as valuable feedback to enhance motivation. In this study, three experiments explored whether such stimuli strengthen learners' task-specific confidence in their cooking abilities. Experiment 1 examined the discriminability of vibro-acoustic stimuli as feedback. Sounds and vibrations were recorded when a professional chef and an amateur cut two types of food, and were presented via a haptic device to participants, who evaluated the sensations. Participants successfully distinguished between the two performer...

  Title: Effects of audiovisual temporal synchronization on visual experience of the non-dominant eye Journal: Cognitive Processing PMID: 40844798 DOI: 10.1007/s10339-025-01296-3 Authors: Hikari Takebayashi, Yuji Wada Abstract: Audiovisual integration occurs automatically and affects visual processing. This study aims to investigate whether temporally synchronized auditory signals enhance monocular signals during binocular observation. In Experiment 1, 16 participants performed a visual target localization task. A mirror stereoscope was used to present a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) stream of distractors to both eyes, with a visual target inserted in either both eyes, the dominant eye, or the non-dominant eye. Continuous low tones synchronized with distractors were paired with the target as either the same low tone (non-salience) or a high tone (salience). Detection facilitation rates by tone type were analyzed through multiple comparisons. Results showed a significant d...

Participants first rated their hunger, valence, desire to eat again (desire), and satisfaction for a small portion of pasta with one of three types of consommé soup: animal-based, conventional plant-based, or developed high-quality plant-based (first rating phase). Next, during a preload phase, they consumed a larger portion of the sam...

One important reason for this oversight is that food has never been regarded as art. Recent　experimental research on the multisensory perception of food, which is known as gastrophysics, has begun　to attract the attention of chefs and consumers and to influence creativity in fine dining.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.2147/CIA.S417254 要旨：Purpose: Past research has shown that exposure to the image of a slim person reduces food consumption among young adults. However, it remains unknown whether this paradigm could be adapted and applied to increase food intake among older adults with dementia by exposing them to the image of a higher-weight person to mitigate weight loss and malnutrition. The present study explored whether weight-related visual cues affect the amount of food consumed by older adults with dementia. Participants and Methods: In the experiment, twenty-one elderly people with dementia living in a nursing home were visually exposed to one of ...
