This study explores the field of neurogastronomy, an emerging discipline that integrates gastronomy and neuroscience to understand how the classical senses influence the food experience. It examines the concept of multisensory perception, highlighting how sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch, and proprioception interact often unconsciously to shape our perception of food. It also discusses the role of sensory memory, namely the ability of the senses to evoke emotions and memories connected to past culinary experiences. Furthermore, it analyzes strategies used in the restaurant industry to create multisensory dining environments: from menu design and pricing, to lighting, colors, ambient scents, and background sounds.
Questo elaborato esplora il settore della neurogastronomia, una disciplina in evoluzione negli ultimi anni che unisce la gastronomia con le neuroscienze per comprendere come i sensi classici influenzano l’esperienza alimentare. Viene approfondito il concetto di percezione multisensoriale, evidenziando come vista, olfatto, udito, gusto, tatto e propriocezione interagiscano tra loro in modo spesso inconsapevole. Si analizza anche il concetto di memoria sensoriale, ovvero la capacità dei sensi di evocare emozioni e ricordi legati al cibo. Lo studio analizza inoltre le strategie adottate nella ristorazione per creare ambienti che stimolano i sensi: dal menù ai prezzi, dalle luci ai colori, e dai profumi ai suoni.

Abstract
This study explores the field of neurogastronomy, an emerging discipline that integrates gastronomy and neuroscience to understand how the classical senses influence the food experience. It examines the concept of multisensory perception, highlighting how sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch, and proprioception interact often unconsciously to shape our perception of food. It also discusses the role of sensory memory, namely the ability of the senses to evoke emotions and memories connected to past culinary experiences. Furthermore, it analyzes strategies used in the restaurant industry to create multisensory dining environments: from menu design and pricing, to lighting, colors, ambient scents, and background sounds.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
