CREATIVE TASTEBUDS: Exploring How Brain and Culture Collaborate on Taste

Part of European Region of Gastronomy 2017
Presented by Taste for Life, Aarhus University, Aarhus 2017 and Central Denmark Region

Is it possible to build houses that make food taste better? Is taste the good, the bad or the ugly in our storytelling about food? How can taste connect us to the past? How do we share the taste experiences of a meal? And how do brain and culture collaborate on taste?

An architect, a chef, an author, and an artist will challenge prominent taste researchers from both the sciences and the humanities – and also the audience – when, live on stage, they create new understandings and imaginations of what taste means for our everyday lives: for learning, sociability, storytelling, and memory.
