这项研究描述了一种新的味觉显示器的生产，它使用离子电泳在五个凝胶含有电解质，提供控制量的五种基本口味的每一个应用到用户的舌头任意的味道，类似于光学显示器，产生任意的颜色从三种基本颜色的光。当没有电压施加到舌头上时，用户可以品尝所有五种味道。然而，当施加电势时，凝胶中的阳离子移动到阴极侧并远离舌头，使得味道变弱。通过这种方式，我们开发了一种味觉显示器，它通过单独抑制五种基本味觉中的每一种的感觉来再现任意的味觉（如减法合成）。我们的研究与以前的工作不同，因为它使用电流进行电泳，而不是电刺激舌头，并且它不涉及摄入溶液来传递味道。
This study describes the production of a novel taste display which uses ion electrophoresis in five gels containing electrolytes that supply controlled amounts of each of the five basic tastes to apply an arbitrary taste to the user's tongue, analogous to optical displays that produce arbitrary colors from lights of three basic colors. When applied to the tongue with no voltage, the user can taste all five tastes. However, when an electric potential is applied, the cations in the gel move to the cathode side and away from the tongue, so that the flavor is tasted weakly. In this way, we have developed a taste display that reproduces an arbitrary taste by individually suppressing the sensation of each of the five basic tastes (like subtractive synthesis.) Our study differs from previous work in that it uses an electric current for electrophoresis rather than electrically stimulating the tongue, and it does not involve ingestion of a solution to deliver the taste.
