UPDATE ON 18TH OCT: NEW TIME SLOTS ADDED IN THE AFTERNOONS
Come and participate in our interesting study in October or November! The aim is to investigate food perception and eating experiences in different multisensory environments. As a participant, you will consume a meal inside the Aistikattila research space. During the session, you will evaluate key factors of your experience, including your taste and enjoyment of the food, your appetite and satiation, and answer various questions on your mood and other affective factors. You receive one free lunch meal, including water. At the end of the experiment, you receive an additional snack and coffee or tea.
Course of the study and eligibility requirements
Upon arriving at the Aistikattila, you will receive a lunch meal consisting of a chicken salad bowl and water. You will be seated by yourself at a table inside the Aistikattila space while eating your meal. Upon seated, you will receive instructions on how to perform the experiment from the iPad located at the seat. During the experiment, you should only communicate with the researcher. Please do not use your personal smartphone or other device while inside the Aistikattila.
You are expected to not consume any food 2 hours before starting the experiment. Drinking water is allowed. Note that the meal will contain dairy, gluten, and meat and is thus not suited for vegetarians, vegans, or if you are sensitive to these foods.

- Normal senses of vision, hearing, smell, and taste
