shaped flavour
stimulate the Ruffini, Merkel's, Meissner's and filiform receptor's | |
If anyone has been shivered by the scraping cutlery against crockery then a social change, where everyone is allowed to lick their plate, would be a welcome addition.
To make this social alteration, I suggest, a texturely engineered plate surface. This could be done with photolithography, Aerosol
deposition or even structured crystal growth. Unique patterns and structures could theoretically alter food taste and open a whole new range of gastronomical sensation.
Of course to access this whole new spectrum of flavour variants people would have to lick their plates.
Yay, no more spine chill.
Feeelings, nothing more than... feelings.

Interesting. Is there any evidence that textures can
stimulate the taste receptors? |
|
| |
[+] suspect bad science, but I like the idea of permanent taste pebbles. |

//and tasting like cardboard.// Ah but then you can add your choice of sugar, salt, grease and addictive substances. |

Neat. The shape of what you look at while eating influences taste and so does sound. [link] |

"This phenomenon has inspired Ben & Jerry's to look into creating a sonic range of ice cream flavors with QR codes on their packaging that allow people to listen to complementary sounds on their phones." |

Technically speaking, we taste everything by shapes.
Or at least, many theories of taste and smell involve
receptors that respond to atom groups of certain
shapes. |

actualy the sintered thing at the interior of electrolytic capicitors, coated with something could stimulate a variety of taste receptors based on the kind of neurology of taste receptor. also laser tweezers as they called, or laser tractor beams (looks like green laser toroids) could reach deep into the tongue to actually vibrate the saliva to heighten taste sensations. I like your idea. |

[beanangel] I do imagine, in the future, energy patterns of various forms will be used to stimulate receptors but I am more interested in static shape. |
|
| |
Can we produce a static structure with the scale scope to get abnormal firing? and therefore affect taste. |

We can do that. For example, we can create
nanostructures based on carbon, oxygen and
hydrogen which, if they have the right shape, will
trigger the "sweet" receptors. We can also build
salt-receptor-triggering structures out of sodium
metal, although it's necessary to add a chloride ion
to passivate the metal. |

This type of texture-altering technology could do wonders
to enhance intimate encounters. |

[Max] Wrong scale. Those are molecular field effects. I am thinking the tissue volume, groups of cells scale, to try and change pressures in the mechanical receptors. An attempt to wobble cell walls in dramatic ways type deal. |
