      Wang, Qian Janice; Spence, Charles; Knöferle, Klemens (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Recent evidence demonstrates that the presentation of crossmodally corresponding auditory stimuli can modulate the taste and hedonic evaluation of various foods (an effect often called “sonic seasoning”). To further ...
