The scale usually consists of 9 levels ranging from 1 to 9, or "dislike extremely" to "like extremely". [1] The hedonic scale is widely used for consumer acceptance testing. [2] [3]
The air pulse sensory test was invented by Dr. Jonathan E. Aviv MD, FACS in 1993, [1] and has been used by otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat doctors), [2] pulmonologists (lung doctors), [3] gastroenterologists (stomach and digestion doctors), [4] intensivists (intensive care specialists) [5] and speech-language pathologists who perform ...

The energy density and nutrient composition of foods has little effect on sensory-specific satiety. The sensory hedonic phenomenon was first described in 1956 [2] by the French physiologist Jacques Le Magnen. The term "sensory specific satiety" was coined in 1981 [3] by Barbara J.

Posturography is the technique used to quantify postural control in upright stance in either static or dynamic conditions. Among them, Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP), also called test of balance (TOB), is a non-invasive specialized clinical assessment technique used to quantify the central nervous system adaptive mechanisms (sensory, motor and central) involved in the control of ...
