EspañolCreative Disturbance is proud to announce Nora Abushadi, a student at The American University in Cairo, has been awarded one of the international student grants from our Kickstarter campaign!
Below it a description of her project, Designing a Multi-Sensory Dining Experience:
Our experience of the world involves a number of senses including the five primary ones: sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste. A multi- sensory dining experience allows one to experience food on another level. It is an experience that excites all the five senses. The research behind this includes how to find new methods to stimulate the senses while actively enjoying the environment whilst eating a meal. The importance of this research will help determine how to deliver a more sensational and consequently a more memorable dining experience.
If a restaurant were to cater to multiple senses, then people’s dining experiences would be more enjoyable. Taking into consideration the latest insights, with a diverse range of fields of research that include experimental psychology, design, neuroscience, and the culinary and sensory sciences, such an experience can be delivered through an ultimate meal, with a fusion of Mediterranean ingredients.
