Podcast appearances and mentions of Charles Spence

This week, AJ Sharp is joined by Professor Charles Spence, the Oxford scientist changing how we think about taste. They explore how sound, colour, light and mood all shape our experience of food and drink, and how culture and nature influence what we find delicious. Expect sensory surprises, practical tips for dining better, and a whole new way of looking at what's on your plate.

In this episode of The Happier Life Project, we dive into the hidden power of our senses with world-renowned experimental psychologist Professor Charles Spence, an expert in multisensory perception and experience design, and founder of Oxford's Crossmodal Research Laboratory. From working with global brands and celebrity chefs to decoding how we taste, touch, hear, and smell, Charles reveals the surprising ways our senses shape daily life - often without us even realizing. Together, Charles and host Gabby explore why most of us live in a state of sensory imbalance, and how modern technology plays a big part in this. The esteemed professor explains how our senses are constantly working together and influencing each other; and how companies and brands often tap into this interplay to guide our choices. The conversation also covers why society today is so “touch hungry,” what we can do about it, and how much better we'd feel if we gave all our senses the attention they deserve. Plus, Charles sheds light on the ripple effect of being more mindful of our own sensory habits; from blasting music to eating strong-smelling food on public transport, and how these choices affect the senses of those around us. Professor Spence has published more than 1,200 academic papers and authored or edited 16 books, including the Prose Prize-winning 'The Perfect Meal' (2014) and the international bestseller 'Gastrophysics: The New Science of Eating' (2017), which won the 2019 Le Grand Prix de la Culture Gastronomique from the Académie Internationale de la Gastronomie. His latest book, 'Sensehacking', was published in 2021. Tune in to discover the fascinating ways to harness the hidden influence of your senses; to feel calmer, more connected, and more balanced.

La Gastrofísica es un término que aunque se usa recientemente, realmente es una ciencia híbrida entre la Gastronomía y la Psicofísica, algo que acompaña a la humanidad probablemente desde la creación. Es una rama de la psicología que estudia las relaciones entre los fenómenos físicos y los psicológicos. Mi invitado ésta semana es Charles Spence, profesor de Psicología Experimental de la Universidad de Oxford quien ha sido el mayor divulgador sobre Gastrofísica, “la nueva ciencia de la comida”. Y con el aquí en El Poder de la Música te traigo todo lo que hay que saber sobre la Gastrofísica, y cómo la música también juega un papel importante en su aplicación.https://www.instagram.com/humbertoelgato/https://www.instagram.com/gatomediainc/https://www.instagram.com/revolucionnetwork/

Imagine you've got a cup of coffee in front of you. You haven't tasted it yet. You therefore don't know what it tastes like, right? Wrong. Some scientists argue that you actually do know what it will taste like (more or less), and the act of tasting simply confirms what you have already imagined it will taste like. And that's because a growing body of research is revealing that sight, sound and touch all affect your expectation of a coffee's flavours. In this episode, I explore how certain sounds might make your coffee taste sweeter, while other sounds translate to bitterness. And I expose how some cafe owners might be ruining the flavours of the high-end specialty coffee you paid for without even realising it. In the second half, I show you why so many of our scientific questions about coffee are going unanswered. I take you deep into the future of coffee science by explaining who's doing research into coffee science, why they're doing it, how much it costs and how you can get involved. ----------Please spread the word about The Science of Coffee!Follow me on Instagram and tag me in an Instagram storyWrite a review on Apple PodcastsLeave a 5 star rating on SpotifyExplore the technology behind Fiorenzato's AllGround home coffee grinderWant to listen to more documentary podcasts about coffee?

We've all heard that our food choices play a big part in our weight gain, but is there something deeper to why we continue to choose foods we know aren't good for us anyway?5 Things Sunday host James Brown addressed this a few months ago with guest Karen Weintraub in an episode called Like most Americans, I'm fat and trying not to be. You can listen to it by clicking on the story. Brown sat down with USA TODAY food reporter, Morgan Hines to talk more about about the connection between our brain and what Charles Spence, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Oxford calls "ancient urges," and how it spills into our lives in other areas like spending over saving money. She said, "It's conditioning from our upbringing that contributes to how we associate food and when we want it. So it might not be the food or the flavor even, as much as it is the association we pair with the food."And breaking that association takes being mindful.For more on this topic read:Why do we eat foods that we know we shouldn't?Rethinking obesity: Americans don't choose to be fat.

Some people say choosing the right wine for your food (or vice versa) is too complicated. Or that it's all nonsense, so not worth bothering with - just go with whatever you fancy.We beg to differ - in the most strident of ways.We've both spent more than 20 years matching wines to food on TV, radio, events, podcasts and print. We know food is one of the best ways to make sense of wine, to learn more and to get beyond the pretentiousness - by focusing on basic flavours and personal pleasure. Finding out what works best for you and yours takes a bit of time and an open mind, though. So let us help you!This episode is the first in a mini-series (in association with Wine Club by Majestic) focusing on food and wine pairing. In this one, we sock it to the naysayers and serve up our 7 top tips to match wine and food successfully, illustrating the basic logic by pairing a series of wines to a cheese board. (The results are almost certainly not what you'd expect). We also grill Majestic buyer Elizabeth Kelly MW on her favourite food and wine matches, guilty pleasures and top tips - and we hear briefly from Louis Roederer cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon and gastrophysicist Professor Charles Spence.All that, AND we answer a question from Jonathan in New York about whether his wine fridge is ruining his treasured bottles...Following on from this appetising entrée will be a series of short-form video pods, in each of which we'll take one dish and find a wine or two that works as a delicious pairing. Again, explaining the logic as we go along, and having a bit of fun along the way.We hope you enjoy the episode! Do let us know your thoughts on Instagram or Twitter.

This is episode #14 of the podcast and it's Thursday, the 24th of March, 2022. My guest today is professor Charles Spence, a world-famous experimental psychologist with a specialization in neuroscience-inspired multisensory design. He has worked with many of the world's largest companies across the globe since establishing the Crossmodal Research Laboratory (CRL) at the Department of Experimental Psychology, Oxford University in 1997. Prof. Spence has published over 1,000 academic articles and edited or authored, 15 books (a sample is provided in the Notes). His work focuses on the design of enhanced multisensory food and drink experiences, through collaborations with chefs, baristas, mixologists, chocolatiers, perfumiers, and the food and beverage, and flavour and fragrance industries. Prof. Spence has worked extensively in the world of multisensory experiential wine and coffee and has also worked extensively on the question of how technology will transform our dining/drinking experiences in the future.We started the discussion addressing how many senses do humans have, after which we jumped right into important questions related to sense harmony, sensory overload, sense congruency, dominance, and harmony. The second part of the discussion moved toward technology (as I usually like to do), brainstorming about how can we use the senses to provide the best immersive experience in augmented, virtual, and mixed reality. Here is the show.Show Notes:- How many senses do humans have and use- Sensory dominance: Are vision and hearing our most important and most complex senses?- Looking at sensory combinations- How do senses interact?- How much do we know about individual differences in somatosensory stimulation and perception?- Considering cross-modal brain plasticity- The role of technology (i.e., AI / AR / VR) in shaping our awareness and use of the senses- Ethical implicationsNote:Links to some of Dr. Spence's more recent (and popular) books:1) Spence, Charles. 2017.

One of the best time-management strategies I know is learning how to repurpose your work in new ways, whether that's using leftovers in future meals or saving past meal plans to use in future weeks. That is why when I realized that I was too swamped to think this week, I decided to repurpose one of the early interviews from this podcast! It's one of my all-time favorite interviews and I know you're going to enjoy it.My guest is Dr. Charles Spence, a Psychologist from Oxford University and author of Gastrophysics: The New Science of Eating and The Perfect Meal: The Multisensory Science of Food and Dining. We're discussing his fascinating research into all the aspects of our senses beyond taste that are involved in our enjoyment of food. It turns out that what we name our food, and how much our forks weigh, matters more than we could ever realize.This week's meal plan is inspired by Dr. Spence's work and includes delicious meals with interesting names. It's a simple and tasty meal plan that the whole family will love.

Could plants and nature sounds make you happier at work? What kind of scent should you wear on your first date? Can a simple hug make grandma and grandpa healthier? Charles Spence, sensory science and experiential psychology expert, tells us how our senses alter how we feel and think, in his groundbreaking book, Sensehacking. He describes how hacking our senses and stimulating them in nature, at home, at work, and at play makes our lives richer. Greg and Charles talk about how the impact of our senses affect our minds and bodies, thoughts and feelings.Episode Quotes:In your opinion, do you think sensory therapy will be an occupation where we will be able to engineer a sensory environment that is optimized?[00:17:28] That is perceptual engineering to optimize stimulation. Perhaps matching it to the kinds of environments that we have evolved in. And that might involve bringing in greenery, water, the sounds of the birds and the animals. This was one of the amazing things that popped out of the book. Researchers have studied indoor temperatures— homes in North America, from Alaska to Texas. From the warmest to the coldest states, they find that everyone seems to set their central heating and air conditioning at 23 degrees centigrade. And, at a humidity level, that, if you compare that to the climate in every region on earth—it turns out it provides the closest match for the Ethiopian Highlands where we evolved.How older people in care homes are experiencing sensory underload because of Covid-19[00:25:12] On the one hand, now there's an increase in touch hunger because people can't touch anymore. Care home residents in the UK said they could occasionally see their relatives through the glass. And they can speak to them through the Intercom, but they're not allowed to touch in person for fear of transmitting the disease. And these are heartbreaking stories of these elderly individuals saying, 'All I want to do is just give my family a hug.' What clearer message could you have about the benefits of touching? The increasing hunger that we're faced with.Thoughts about hospitals in integrating and optimizing the sensory experience for patients[00:39:38] So, the health care provision was a realization that needs to go beyond just the machines or, what they can do, the doctors and surgeons. Actually think about, delivering, designing environments that are conducive to recovery, to the reduction of stress. That can be everything from the scent. I mean, just think about, when you go to the dentist, and you get the smell of eugenol or the cloves or the smell of filling. For most of us, that can make us pretty tense. That's not an intrinsic stressful smell. It's just when we associate that smell with what's going to happen, the pain and the drilling. I think it's probably the same thing for hospitals, that scent maybe makes them feel stressed.Time Code Guide:00:01:57: How and when Charles wrote the book00:04:50: How Charles convinced Oxford's Psychology department to allow him to take on a generalist approach rather than to focus on a specialization00:07:08: Sensory congruence and how senses work together00:10:09: Is there a divergent point between sense hacking for good and sense hacking for profit00:13:07: Sensory overload, underload and its use in therapy00:15:30: Why older people are suffering sensory underload during COVID-1900:17:28: Engineering environment to optimize the sensory experience00:19:35: Biophilic designs and trend on British offices00:20:20: Evolutionary psychology00:22:32: Sensory congruence in biophilic design00:24:10: COVID-19's effect on the variety of environments we're exposed to and our relationships, and interactions00:26:50: How Charles used the book in designing his home00:30:26: Open office design, workplace setup and its effects on employee performance00:31:22: How offices and employees will be like after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted00:34:42: Do architects need to relearn integrating sensory experience in their designs00:43:00: Rise of online dating and the radical impact of visuals on other senses related to building relationships 00:45:00: The things we lost from the lack of sensory stimulation during COVID-19Show LinksGuest ProfileCharles Spence Profile at the University of Oxford's Experimental Psychology DepartmentCharles Spence Academic ProfileCharles Spence on LinkedInHis WorkCharles Spence on Google ScholarSensehacking: How to Use the Power of Your Senses for Happier, Healthier LivingCrossmodal Attention Applied: Lessons for and from Driving (Elements in Perception)Gastrophysics: The New Science of EatingThe Perfect Meal: The Multisensory Science of Food and DiningIn touch with the future: The sense of touch from cognitive neuroscience to virtual reality

We can't clearly define comfort food but we know it when we taste it. If these foods bring us feelings of joy, attachment, and safety, why do we feel shameful when we consume them?In this week's conversation, Rose reveals how she believes it is all linked to the patriarchy and Kamea shares her personal experiences with food shame and comfort foods during the pandemic.

Spence works at Oxford University in the Experimental Phycology department. This resource is a dense academic read and is best enjoyed on a full screen with a cup of tea in hand. Diet Culture as a Tool of the Patriarchy: This topic is on the docket as a subject for aThyme to Chat episode. For now, please enjoy this article from MS Magazine as an appetizer to the topic.  Goop:We goop on Goop in today's episode. However, this article on childhood attachment and our relationship to food is intriguing. Just do us a favor and don't purchase a crystal vagina egg after reading. Yes, they really sell them alongside "smells like my vagina" votives. Yay yoni owner empowerment?  Pozole:Intrigued by Pozole? Mely Martinez, author of Mexico in my Kitchen, has a fantastic recipe. When Kamea made this soup for her neighbor, she made chicken stock separately in an Instapot using chicken feet, bay, black pepper, salt, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. She then substituted the water for the stock and used chicken instead of pork. Otherwise, she followed Mely's great recipe! Tasty Salty Real: Outside of this podcast, Kamea writes a newsletter called Tasty Salty Real. Prior to recording this episode, she wrote an article on emotional eating and comfort foods. It can be found here on her Substack page.  Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/thyme-to-chat/donations

My guest today is the one and only Dr. Charles Spence, professor of experimental psychology and Head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University. He is a Gastrophysicists working at the interface between chefs, food companies and technology.Charles is passionate about how people perceive the world around them. In particular, how our brains manage to process the information from each of our different senses to form the extraordinarily rich multisensory experiences that fill our daily lives. His research focuses on how a better understanding of the human mind will lead to the better design of multisensory foods, products, interfaces, and environments in the future.Charles has published more than 500 articles in top scientific journals, and have been awarded many prestige psychology prices. In this episode,Dr. Charles Spence and I discuss the ins and outs of Sonic seasoning: When Food, Sound & Neuroscience intertwine to create the perfect food and drink experience.Full Episode 17: Sonic seasoning: Eating with your ears.

If you're like me, you find it a struggle to get your kids or members of your household to enjoy the meals that you cook. Some dinners are hits, others are not. How can we make more hits than nots? In the community interview this week I talk to Dr. Charles Spence, a Psychologist from Oxford University, about what is involved beyond taste in our enjoyment of food. It turns out that things like what we name our meals, and how much our forks weigh, matters more than we could ever realize. Have a listen to our conversation to find out how this can help you get more of those hits in your own daily cooking.The Meal Plan: This week the meal plan is inspired by Dr. Spence's work and includes delicious meals with interesting names. It's a simple and tasty meal plan that the whole family will love. To get our meal plans with links to the recipes and printable grocery lists to go with them, subscribe at https://cookthestory.com/GetMealPlans. Have a great day! xo

Experimental psychologist Charles Spence introduces us to gastrophysics, the science of how the brain melds color, smell and sound to create powerful multisensory taste experiences. Plus, Nicola Twilley investigates the rise of alternative sugars; Alex Aïnouz goes on a hunt for the ultimate knife; and we offer a recipe inspired by Tel Aviv's Shlomo & Doron, where hummus gets a Mexican twist.Get the recipe for Hummus with Chipotle Black Beans and Tomato Salsa: https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/tomato-salsa-chipotle-black-beans-hummusThis week's sponsor:Make quality sleep your New Year's resolution.

Steve Keller is Sonic Strategy Director for Studio Resonate at Pandora (a subsidiary of SiriusXM, and the largest ad-supported audio entertainment streaming service in the U.S.). Prior to joining Pandora, Steve was the founder and CEO of iV, an audio consultancy based in Nashville that specialized in the strategy, content, research and management necessary for successful audio branding initiatives. What role can sound play in a brands expression? What does a brands "voice" really mean and what opportunities are there to develop it? What are some of the best brands when it comes to leveraging a sound strategy?  Steve is recognized as one of the leading experts in the field of sonic strategy and identity. With a head for data and a heart for sonic expression, he actively engages in collaborative research projects, exploring the power of sound to shape our perceptions and influence our behavior. Recent experiments include an examination of the relationship between sound and taste (conducted with Oxford's Crossmodal Research Laboratory), an exploration into the existence of audio archetypes (conducted with Goldsmiths University London), demonstrating the effects of source bias on evaluations of music aesthetics and worth (conducted with Technische Universität Berlin), and how music, soundscapes and noise in healthcare environments affect patience outcomes and satisfaction (with Oxford's Charles Spence).  He is the 2017 recipient of the iHeartMedia Scholarship for Leadership in Audio Innovation, and is currently completing an Executive MBA through the Berlin School of Creative Leadership, where his thesis is focusing on racialized listening, the existence of a "sonic color line," and its impact on marketing and industry practices, particularly in the context of voice casting. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.
