<p>How do we taste? What evolutionary benefit is there to tasting bitter and sour? And why should you think about wearing noise-cancelling headphones on planes if you want to enjoy your food? <br> <br>In this Focus episode of How We’re Wired, join producer Dr Eva Higginbotham as she uncovers the neuroscience underpinning taste, from how you can optimise dishes using synergistic umami to a test to discover if you’re a supertaster. <br> <br>With special thanks to Robert Parks and Barry Smith. <br> <br>How We’re Wired is a Fresh Air Production for The Bertarelli Foundation.
