Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Nine different tastes, administered in liquid form: three dairy products, three<br /><br>water based products, three oral nutritional supplements. Artificial saliva<br /><br>will be administered in diluted form both as neutral taste and as rinsing agent.<br /><br><br /><br>The outcome of the study will consist of:<br /><br><br /><br>- the neural activity due to the ingestion of these tastants;<br /><br>- the behavioural response related to them;<br /><br>- the results of the application of machine learning to these data (behavioural<br /><br>+ brain activity);<br /><br>- a description of the evolution in time of the brain activity as a function of<br /><br>the exposition to certain tastes;<br /><br>- a numerical technique susceptible to be applied to other research fields<br /><br>whereas the temporal evolution is a relevant factor.</p><br>
