'Let the burning heat and icy coolness lead you into the fascinating world of
chemesthesis and dance. This multi-sensory dance video is inspired by the PhD
thesis "Insights into oral chemesthetic perception: A focus on food-related
behavior" by Dr. Sulo Roukka, which explores the secrets of oral chemesthetic
perception with a special focus on food-related behavior.
Chemesthesis is a chemical dimension of tactile sensation. Different chemical
compounds can activate our somatosensory system, creating sensations such as
the burning heat of chili (capsaicin), the icy coolness of mint (menthol), and
the drying, puckering sensation known as astringency, which can be perceived
from tea (tannins).
Chemesthesis plays a role not only in how we perceive and experience food but
also in how we move on the dance floor. It can create unique connections
between sensory experience and rhythm in dance.'
