- Electrogustometry
Unreferenced date March 2007 orphan date May 2008 Electrogustometry is the measurement of taste threshold by passing controlled anodal current through the tongue. When current passes through the tongue a unique and distinct Parageusia metallic taste is perceived. Background Electrogustometry has been in existence since 1950s. However, not much research has been done in this field. TR Bull developed an electrogustometer but it lacked precision and was not widely accepted. In 1990s the Rion TR 06 was developed. This was precise and is widely used in the market. The TR 06 is probably the only electrogustometer used now for research and diagnosis. This is manual and needs a trained doctor or nurse to use it. This also needs to be manually calculated to arrive at the taste threshold and carry out the false positive tests. Philosophy The measure of the minimum amount of current required to excite the sensation of this taste is called the taste threshold . This project involves the design and fabrication of an automatic instrument to measure this taste threshold. Key Features Small in size, light and portable. This is a hand held and battery powered device that can be easily placed in any environment. Inbuilt false positive detect test. This is developed to cater for the Psychophysics psychophysical analysis of the subject. Influencing Factors Electrogustometric taste threshold depends on the duration of current pulse and area of contact of electrode and tongue. Detailed experiments will be performed to prove and discuss their influence on taste threshold with the automatic electrogustometer. Experiments have been performed with the manual TR 06 on to study the effects of these control factors. See also Machine olfaction Olfactometer Category Gustation ... more details
