大多数产生味觉的系统都是基于适当地混合不同的化学物质，并且很少有经过验证的方法来刺激味觉。本文介绍了一种基于电刺激和热刺激的数字化味觉刺激方法。因此，提出了两种数字控制系统来有效地控制舌头上的味觉及其强度。大多数有说服力的因素，如电流，频率和温度的影响已被占非侵入性刺激舌头。初步的实验结果表明，酸（强），苦（弱），咸（弱）是主要的感觉，这可以诱发，同时也有甜的感觉的证据。基于舌头安装的数字味觉界面的结果，我们开发了另一个系统，命名为数字酸棒棒糖，以有效地控制数字化的酸味。初步实验结果表明，该系统的可控性酸味的三个水平的强度使用的电刺激人的舌头。
Most of the systems for generating taste sensations are based on blending different chemicals appropriately, and there are less proven approaches to stimulate the sense of taste digitally. In this paper, a method to digitally stimulate the sense of taste is introduced and demonstrated based on electrical and thermal stimulation on human tongue. Thus, two digital control systems are presented to control taste sensations and their intensities effectively on the tongue. The effects of most persuading factors such as current, frequency, and temperature have been accounted to noninvasively stimulate the tongue. The initial experimental results indicate that sour (strong), bitter (mild), and salty(mild) are the main sensations, which can be evoked while there are evidences of sweet sensation too. Based on the results of the Tongue Mounted Digital Taste Interface, we have then developed another system which named as the Digital Sour Lollipop to effectively control the sour taste digitally. Initial experimental results of this system show the controllability of sour taste up to three levels of intensities using the electrical stimulation on human tongue.
