 * Topic:** Sight affecting sense of taste.


 * Question:** How does sight affect on what your eating?

Color/sight can influence our perception of taste. The main reason for this is because of our past experiences with color/flavor. For example, we remember that when bread goes bad, it will often have a green fungus growing on it. What if you dyed the bread that same color in spots? Because of your past experience with bad bread, you would see the dyed bread as "bad", even though it is only dye, therefore it probably would taste different to you. For another example, what if you dyed an apple or banana dark brown?

Sometimes one of our senses can overwhelm some of our other senses. If you notice that the food item doesn't look right to you, your sense of sight will be working hard, while your sense of taste might be partly ignored, causing you to perceive the favor as different, even though it isn't any different. Some studys have shown that darker colors make a person think that the food or drink is stronger. For instance, do you think white grape fruit juice or dark grape fruit juice has a stronger flavor? This is a topic that is currently still be studied because we are just beginning to understand how the different senses affect each other.

We all have some degree of synaesthesia. However, a person with a strong sense of synaesthesia senses stimuli different from a "normal" person. For example, to the person with synaesthesia, a color might have a "taste", a sound might be "felt", and a food might be "heard".

Would have to say yes about that because I dot really see how that can work the way that Sight affects what you’re eating. Well it depends on what your eating like something sweet, sour, bitter, hot, and spicy and cold but I don't know I guess that ill just Have to find out by myself by doing testing foods on people and telling me if it affects There sight on what there eating.
 * Hypothesis:**


 * Procedure:**
 * 1) First i will gather a lie 4 people.
 * 2) I will have them do two testings.
 * 3) The first one that i will have them take is the tasting test.
 * 4) I'll ask them if they would have a certain food with another certain food and see what they say.
 * 5) Then I will have them actually taste the food that I just asked and see if they like it or not.
 * 6) I will observe the results and collect the data.
 * 7) The second test that I will have them take is the guessing test.
 * 8) First I'll get samples of food.
 * 9) I will have them tatse the food and then I need them to tell me if it affects there sight on what there eating
 * 10) I will then observe and collect the data.

1. need two boys and two girls 2. Have to get types of food 3. then take them out to the hallway and have taste the foods that I picked out
 * Materials**

Do the experiment
 * Experiment**


 * Data/Results**
 * **Bitter** ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Onions,Garlic || Yes ||  || Male ||
 * Mustard,Horseradish || Yes ||  || Male ||
 * Honey,Vinegar || Yes ||  || Female ||
 * **Sweet** ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Lemon juice,Sugar ||  || No || Male ||
 * **Sour** ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Grape Juice,salt ||  || No || Female ||

For my conclusion that was from my hypothesis that I was right. My data/results came out what I thought it would be there were 3 yeses and 2 no. I did sour, bitter and sweet the bitter was the one that worked out the best and I was right that my science experiment did work. Sight does effect on what your eating.
