The Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS) is an international association that advances understanding of the senses of taste and smell.
AChemS researchers study multisensory integration, how the brain combines taste, smell, touch, and even sound to create flavor perception. Understanding these interactions reveals why foods engaging multiple senses are often the most satisfying.
