To determine whether combined electroencephalography and electromyography recordings can objectively quantify and decode dynamic food texture perception during oral processing.
Recorded electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) signals during the oral processing of model solid foods (biscuits).
Evaluated neural and muscular indices associated with variations in structural food properties, focusing on hardness and chewiness.
Neural decoding indices achieved performance metrics exceeding 0.7 for characterizing food texture attributes.
Identified neural indices that functioned as objective biomarkers capable of differentiating food samples based on hardness and chewiness.

Implication

Experimental study demonstrates neural indices distinguish food hardness and chewiness in humans, highlighting objective biomarkers for texture perception.

Abstract

> 0.7). Our findings suggest that such neural indices may serve as objective biomarkers for distinguishing samples based on their textural attributes, particularly hardness and chewiness. This study therefore provides valuable insights into the quantitative characterization of dynamic texture perception during food oral processing.
