Gwendolyn Graff How we Taste: a Brain Teaser
Day 2 starts off with an interactive tasting demo intended to pick apart the different aspects of how we experience food. By considering the different biological/neural pathways by which our brain gets information, interprets it, and puts together the inputs to draw meaning/understanding of what we are eating, you will have the opportunity to very much tease your brain.
