Unseen Being
09: Flavour
Season 1, Ep. 9
•
Is it all in the mind? In this episode with experimental psychologist Professor Charles Spence and food scientist @drjohnnydrain, we deep dive into our perception of flavour. Created from a heady mix of taste, expectation, context and our other senses, flavour can be manipulated and played with to enhance wellbeing, sustainability and even connection. We find out how flavour parts of the brain evolved to keep us safe. Why certain sounds and colours make chocolate taste sweeter. And how can you use fermentation to recreate this chocolate in a more sustainable way, without even using cacao? From fermentation to fungus, in this episode, we enter the world of flavour.

49:03||Season 1, Ep. 10This episode dives deep into the growing research and world of psychedelics as a healing source, an alternative practise and way to expand our consciousness. As more compelling research emerges about the powerful role psychedelics have on creating huge shifts about the way we see ourselves, our beliefs and our connections, we break down how this works in the brain, the power of altered states of consciousness and how it fundamentally shifts our experience of the world around us. As this field surges, we help you understand why this research is so crucial at this time, and how to think about and take psychedelics safely. We're joined by Psychedelic Researcher, Chris Timmerman, Phd and Creative Director, Psychedelic Artist and founder of Tayos, Eileen Hall.http://eileen-hall.com/https://www.imperial.ac.uk/psychedelic-research-centre/8. 08: Interoception
