Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The outcomes of the study will consist of: - The neural activity due to the ingestion of the basic tastes: sweet salty, sour and/or bitter. - The behavioral response related to them. - The results of the application of machine learning and other cognitive modelling techniques to these data (behavioral + brain activity). - A description of the functional organization within the brain as a function of the early neuronal processing of to basic tastes. - A description of the emotional reactions and its temporal dynamics.	—
