Summary Introduction
To explain:
The advantages of having the ability to perceive tastes that are salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami.
Introduction:
There are several types of receptors present in our body which detect the different type of sensations. These receptors send signals to the central nervous system in response to which the body shows some response.

What are the neural pathways and mechanisms involved in the processing of visual information, and how do they differ from those involved in processing information from other sensory systems such as hearing, taste, and smell?
To what extent is speech production and perception found to correspond to specific cortical loci in the brain? What evidence is there that each process (i.e., production and perception) works independently but also cooperatively?
Where exactly is the olfactory cortex located? Is it located in both the frontal lobe (that receives information from the olfactory bulb) and the temporal lobe (lateral olfactory cortex)? Does it go through the frontal lobe then to the temporal?

- Bryan has normal vision and is wearing a special headset that shows a picture of a sailboat to his left eye and a picture of a dog to his right eye. What is Bryan's perception of these images most likely to be? He will only perceive whichever image is presented to his dominant eye. He will alternate between perceiving the sailboat and perceiving the dog. He will perceive the dog and the sailboat overlaid on top of each other. He will perceive parts of the dog and parts of the sailboat combined together in a fashion similar to a puzzle.arrow_forwardWhat are the 5 basic tastes?arrow_forwardFrom a biological perspective, how do we experience taste?
