Taste perception and its relationship to food offer a greater degree of control and potential for enhancement compared to visual perception.

“I should point out that, of all the senses, it seems that with taste and its relationship to food, we have more control over that experience. Let me state this differently. If I were to do a podcast on the idea that, simply by looking around the world differently, you could start to actually get new visual perceptual abilities. That'd be pretty exciting. I'm sorry, but that's not true. It doesn't work. You could enhance some discrimination of certain things if you were trained to look for them, but that can change your visual perceptual abilities. But with taste, it sounds - Yeah. - like we have the ability.”
