Welcome to The kbbreview Podcast, your host is Andy Davies, and this is Episode 5 of Season 11. This is a great episdoe as we've got a topic today that will dazzle all your senses.That's because it's all about, well, dazzling all the senses.It's obvious that your showroom needs to look great, but do you ever think about how it smells, how it sounds or how it feels? Does your showroom engage all of your customer's senses? There is a huge amount of psychological research confirming that appealing to all the senses can make customers more inclined to purchase in retail environments. Using scent, music, tactile displays and lighting can create a much more immersive and engaging experience.We love all this kind of stuff so we're so pleased that our guest today is Charles Spence - he is a professor of experimental psychology at the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at Oxford University.And if you find all this as intersting as we do, check out Charles' book Sensehacking: How to Use the Power of Your Senses for Happier, Healthier Living This very special episode is brought to you with the support of our good friends at kbb Birmingham 2024, Europe's prime hub for the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom industries.The ultimate showcase of innovation is now only days away - it starts on Sunday, March the 3rd at the NEC Birmingham and runs to Wednesday the 6thMeet key clients, engage with trendsetters, explore the newest launches and dive into live demonstrations - you'll gain valuable insights that'll drive your business forward at kbb Birmingham 2024.You can register for your free visitor pass now at kbb.co.uk.

This conversation is part of the series 'The Philosophy, Science, & Aesthetics of Food' ('Dare to know!' Philosophy Podcast). Charles Spence is the Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford and the head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory. He is interested in how people perceive the world around them. In particular, how our brains manage to process the information from each of our different senses (such as smell, taste, sight, hearing, and touch) 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. Today's focus will be his book ‘Gastrophysics: The New Science of Eating'.
Dr. Charles Spence: "How do I deliver an experience and not just a product? What are the sound experiences? Sound is the easy sense to change, that can be switched on and off to have a strong an emotional impact".Full Episode 17: Sonic Seasoning: Eating with Your Ears.

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.

How do our senses impact our view of the world around us? Can we influence them to change how we perceive things? That's what my guest Professor Charles Spence is here to help me understand.Charles is the author of a new book called Sensehacking: How to Use the Power of Your Senses for Happier, Healthier Living. He's also Professor of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University, where he leads the Crossmodal Research Laboratory that explores how our senses work, so he's well qualified in this space.Charles was a guest on an earlier episode of the podcast (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/31722779) where he talked about gastrophysics. In our discussion, we explore Sensehacking: what does it mean, how does it work and what can we do to improve our lives by using it? As ever, he's a fascinating and insightful guest.For more on Charles' work:https://www.psy.ox.ac.uk/research/crossmodal-research-laboratoryTo read more about his book Sensehacking:https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/308/308513/sensehacking/9780241361139.html
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.

On this, the 50th episode of the podcast, I'm speaking with Professor Charles Spence who heads the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at Oxford University. He is interested in how people perceive the world around them. In particular, how our brains manage to process the information from each of our different senses (such as smell, taste, sight, hearing, and touch) to form the extraordinarily rich multisensory experiences that fill our daily lives. In our discussion, we explore how the way our food and drink is presented to us, impacts the way it tastes. I first learned of Charles' work while reading this research on wine (https://cognitiveresearchjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41235-020-00225-6) and we explore this in our discussion.We also touch on a range of other fascinating issues.This episode is most definitely best enjoyed with a glass of wine in hand.For more on the Crossmodal Laboratory and its research, visit their website: https://www.psy.ox.ac.uk/research/crossmodal-research-laboratory
We’re in London to meet up with world-famous experimental psychologist Professor Charles Spence, founder of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University. Professor Spence specializes in neuroscience-inspired multisensory design, and has extensively researched how the background sounds and music that happens to be playing in bars, restaurants and cafes biases what customers choose to purchase, order, and/or consume, not to mention what they think it tastes like, how much they enjoy – and would be willing to pay for – the experience. We drop into our musical vault and pull a 2011 in-studio performance from multi-talented L.A.-based electronic music producer Daedelus. Snacky Tunes is powered by Simplecast.

In particular, how our brains manage to process the information from each of our different senses (such as smell, taste, sight, hearing, and touch) to form the extraordinarily rich multi-sensory 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 multi-sensory foods, products, interfaces, and environments in the future. Over the years, Charles has consulted for a number of multinational companies advising on various aspects of multi-sensory design, packaging, and branding. Perhaps most famously, Charles worked with Heston Blumenthal, chef of The Fat Duck restaurant on his multi-sensory food experiences, not to mention the 2008 IG Nobel prize for nutrition, for his groundbreaking work on the ‘sonic crisp’.Find Charles' book: https://amzn.to/2jJZpWhIf you enjoyed this podcast, please SUBSCRIBE!Find me on Instagram: http://instagram.com/venetiafalconer See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Experimental psychologist, Charles Spence, joins host and editor of Square Meal, Ben McCormack in conversation. Spence, the head of Crossmodal Research Laboratory, discusses his radical research, gastrophysics, and the surprising ways outside elements can affect our dining experience.
Taste is one of our most subjective of the five senses. A flavor that elicits delight in one individual may evoke strong disgust in another. And while we all have a basic understanding of flavor, we rarely think about the other sonic factors that may be affecting how we interpret different tastes. In this episode, we consider the relationship between sound and taste, and the power certain sounds can have over our taste buds. Featuring Charles Spence, head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at Oxford University. Twenty Thousand Hertz is hosted by Dallas Taylor and produced out of the studios of Defacto Sound.

Flashbacks are intrusive memories that can plague people after a traumatic incident. Now there's a possibility that playing certain kinds of computer games in the hours after the traumatic event could prevent images flashing back into the mind when they're not wanted. Emily Holmes at Oxford University wants to develop what she calls a cognitive vaccine. This would be used in the hours straight after an event - not as a treatment for post traumatic stress disorder, but to prevent disturbing memories from taking root. Taste and Music: Professor Charles Spence is the Head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory based at Oxford University and is investigating how the brain can match up sounds and tastes. And one restaurant in Switzerland is making music a crucial part of the dining experience with specially-composed tunes accompanying each course. Therapeutic Design: Most people with dementia want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible, provided they can cope. Researchers from Stirling University have found that the adoption of simple design tricks can extend that period at home. The university's Dementia Services Development Centre has designed a dementia-friendly home and Director Professor June Andrews told Claudia that it's all about trying to see a home from the point of view of the person with dementia. Producer Geraldine Fitzgerald.
Interview - Prof. Charles Spence is head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at Oxford University. We speak to him about the interplay of our senses and their use in computer games, including why it's hard to play FPSs and talk tactics at the same time. However the first thing he talks about is food; crisps in particular.With: Someguy, SouldaddyMusic: 'Fashion Freak' by Naked Ape41 min. talk / 4 min. music 26.5 MB
