 * HOW THE BRAIN AFFECT HOW THINGS TASTE **

The purpose of this study was to determine if the brain affects how people think something tastes. Taste buds are very important when deciding what things taste like, and taste buds are split up into four sections, which are bitterness, sourness, saltiness, and sweetness. Jell-O was made numerous times, and people were asked to rate or identify the flavor, each under a different circumstance. It was concluded that the brain does affect the way things taste. This is because the brain and nose connects to the taste buds, which can cause confusion in the system when presented something misleading.
 * ABSTRACT **

**EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS** The experiment could have improved on how careful it was when the people tasted it, like how much the people tasted. It needed to be more carefully watched as the volunteers were tasting.
