Comparing sensory experiences across individuals: recent psychophysical advances illuminate genetic variation in taste perception.

Chemical senses - 1 Aug 2000

Abstract excerpt

Modern psychophysics has traveled considerably beyond the threshold measures that dominated sensory studies in the first half of this century. Current methods capture the range of perceived intensity from threshold to maximum and promise to provide increasingly accurate comparisons of perceived intensities across individuals. The application of new psychophysical tools to genetic variation in taste allowed us to...
