In one of Oliver Sacks' books, he told the story of a patient of his which lost the ability to see color. Completely. Due to an extremely rare (I believe it had never before been seen by the medical community) and very specific bit of brain damage incurred during a car accident, the man could only see in grayscale. The effect it had upon him was profound. One of the specific things mentioned was that it became extremely difficult for him to eat. Food appeared disgusting to him without being in color. It should be easy to simulate that kind of thing with technology such as this. I'd be interested to try that. I never realized before reading about him that there are almost no foods we enjoy that are truly black. The fact Oreos, which are one of the very few black foods, is the most successful cookie in the US by a huge margin is really weird considering that.

In the poverty-stricken region of my country, some people are already utilising this concept of -brain hacking-. They would hang a small piece of cooked fish from the ceiling in the middle of the dinner table, and eat white rice seasoned with fish sauce while looking at the fish. Tricking themselves that they are actually eating fish and rice. The small piece of fish they acquired isn't enough to feed the whole family. Truly sad.

Wow this was really interesting. I like the idea of it being used in things like the military or NASA as it could help the people who land on Mars feel like they are eating comfort food. This could help keep people happy and working together which is important to the success of the mission. Also it looks like we could also finally have smell a vision!

hmmm, we did the same project during the 2nd year at University, just for fun and easy grade. Can't see anything special or advanced compared to ours, it's pretty simple, but there're enough cool ideas which could be applied to it, but I've yet to see it here.

The reason why it works well with cookies is due to the fact that most of those examples had similar textures, it'd be great to see something like a bland pastry turn into something delicious like pizza. There's so much potential with this thing. Amazing

10 years ago I dreamed of a television device that could transmit smells and tastes. So watching a murder show, you'll be bombarded with deathly smells - cold blood and fresh poop. Now, I see this future is possible. Can't wait to smell some murder shows!

Its not too surprising that pumping lemon scent into your nose makes things taste like lemon, smell and taste are pretty much the same sense. Try smelling an onion while eating an apple, the same thing happens. This is nothing new.

the audio post production sucked though. that permanent crunching and chewing sound although the branded cookie was soft. and he didnt say the design of the headset was inspired by the predator but by a face hugger. there you go.

this is amazing! if used in the right way, it can encourage people to have a more balanced and healthy diet. there will be no more binge eating, and this can also prevent humans killing animals more than they need to.

this device probably has to do with different types of terpenes being shot into their nose/pallet making them taste what ever terpene is selected using that QR scanning thing. If im correct, its not really that crazy: o
