  • Recent findings confirm an association between sound patterns and the four basic tastes: Sweetness, saltiness, sourness and bitterness. And what about umami? This tricky fifth taste still eludes researchers.

    So you're not just making a great video, but you even film it in front of a nicely made background... that's fantastic!

    Last time I was this early I thought sound didn't have meaningful correlation to taste

    Great video. :) First I missed umami, but you said something about that too.

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  7 років тому +3

      Thx! There's even possibly a sixth tasted called "kokumi", but it's still being studied more closely

    When I first saw that title, I was wondering 'is he going to talk about synesthesia?'
    I'm not a synesthete, but I find the bit of neurodiversity very fascinating. Likewise some of the theories for why it happens and the possibility that everyone experiences it on some level in early development - but most people grow out of of it (as the brain makes more robustly "linear" pathways for sensory processing).
    But the associations made in this video also made me think of the bouba/kiki effect. (Unsure if you've covered that one, but it seems up your alley!)

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  7 років тому +3

      S. Holloway : I'll most probably do a future video focusing more on synesthesia. And thx to you, i just learned about the bouba/kiki effect. Definitely a good topic to share! Thanks, buddy!

    The book "Green Eggs and Ham" is the best possible example I can think of for color unconsciously telling us whether to eat some food.

    Sweet has a long cultural history in music, Sour surprised me with an very close association I never knew I had, Salty I'm on the fence about, it's more irritating than I would expect and maybe just a strange example choice, while bitter... I would strongly expect bitter to be raspy, growling and dissonant. This bitter is like a happy stroll downtown.

    I am actually a professional chocolate taster so this was really interesting! Great video!

    • @PlayTheMind

      TheDustyForest : Thx! And I'm really jealous of your job title!

    • @TheDustyForest
      @TheDustyForest 7 років тому +1

      PlayTheMind haha thanks, I only started it a couple of months ago and I'm still getting used to how weird it is to introduce myself as a chocolate taster...

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  7 років тому +3

      Weird and awesome, that is!

  • @Qjimbo

    The fact the words had no effect on what people identified the flavours with actually suggests the words themselves are closely related to the taste, which makes sense. A word is a "sound" that people have to match up with something that isn't always audible itself. The word "bitter" itself is percussive, much like the music people chose for it.

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  7 років тому +1

      You're absolutely right. There's linguistic evidence that suggest that the sound of many words, including the taste-words, are a reflection of what they call to mind.

    J'ai trouvé ta chaîne par hasard suite à un de tes commentaires sur une vidéo de boyinaband. Ta façon de parler m'a fait penser un peu à vsauce (je suppose que tu connais vu comme sa chaine est connu), j'aime beaucoup :P

    • @PlayTheMind

      Merci! En effet, VSauce est une influence majeure pour moi. Ses videos partagent un maximun d'informations en quelques minutes!

    I love the excursions your videos take me on! I have to ask something banal, though: how are your teeth so white?

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  6 років тому +1

      I'm glad you enjoy the videos! About teeth: I honestly don't know...

    Umami is the deep bass.

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  7 років тому

      i think you might be onto something there...

  • @dcseain
    @dcseain 7 років тому

    But what of umami/savory.

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  7 років тому +1

      I'll guide you to the 2:10 mark ;)

    • @dcseain
      @dcseain 7 років тому +1

      Yeah, so I found as I kept watching. :-)

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  7 років тому +1

      Excellent! However, there are some other tastes I still didn't mention: Oleogustus, kokumi and starchiness, to name a few.

  • @Macieks300
    @Macieks300 7 років тому +2

    how many languages do you speak?

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  7 років тому +5

      Macieks300 : Three fluently, three halfway there, and learning three more. Language is music, in a way.

    • @Macieks300
      @Macieks300 7 років тому +1

      can you tell me which ones?

    • @PlayTheMind
      @PlayTheMind  7 років тому +6

      I'm a mysterious man, so I'll keep that answer for a Q&A episode in the near future ;)

    • @juanistic
      @juanistic 7 років тому +1

      Probably English, French and German for the first three.

    • @TimFitzGeraldca
      @TimFitzGeraldca 7 років тому +2

      I detect perhaps an East-End St-Léonard-ish accent, so I guess English, French and Italian for the fluent languages.

    • @PlayTheMind

      Done! I'll feature a wood block somewhere in a future video, and/or a cowbell.
