Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Connell, Louise; Lynott, Dermot – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Perceptual simulations are unconscious and automatic, whereas perceptual imagery is conscious and deliberate, but it is unclear how easily one can transfer perceptual information from unconscious to conscious awareness. We investigated whether it is possible to be aware of what one is mentally representing; that is, whether it is possible to…

Chills in Different Sensory Domains: Frisson Elicited by Acoustical, Visual, Tactile and Gustatory Stimuli
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Grewe, Oliver; Katzur, Bjorn; Kopiez, Reinhard; Altenmuller, Eckart – Psychology of Music, 2011
"Chills" (frisson manifested as goose bumps or shivers) have been used in an increasing number of studies as indicators of emotions in response to music (e.g., Craig, 2005; Guhn, Hamm, & Zentner, 2007; McCrae, 2007; Panksepp, 1995; Sloboda, 1991). In this study we present evidence that chills can be induced through aural, visual, tactile, and…

Impairments in the Perception of Odor-Induced Tastes and Their Relationship to Impairments in Taste Perception
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stevenson, Richard J.; Miller, Laurie A.; Thayer, Zoe C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2008
Certain odors have tastelike qualities when sniffed. To the extent that these qualities are akin to real taste experiences, impairment in perception of odor-induced tastes should be accompanied by taste impairment, and vice versa. Twelve patients were selected with possible odor-induced taste impairments or general taste impairments via a…
