The agenda for the day is the following:
- Launch of a survey on the use and application of methods to assess PROP, tactile acuity, fungiform papillae number, basic tastes and somatosensory responsiveness, psychological traits;
–> Objective: get a picture of the diversity in methods at European level - Set up of sub-working groups with different aims; some proposals are:
- Collaborative studies between members: validation of remote testing procedures to collect taste sensitivity responses (e.g. PROP)
- Collaborative studies between members: data sharing and analyses of extant data sets with the aim of comparing different methodologies to measure taste responsiveness (e.g. PROP, papillae, tastes)
- Comparison of methods to measure taste responsiveness and definition of guidelines (e.g. taste acuity)
- Translation in different European languages of psychological trait questionnaires to create a collection with open access for E3S members
- Pleasure sensitivity (hedonia) measurement (Barbara Vad Andersen, Aarhus University)
- Discussion & Proposals
