%X Despite its high biological relevance in the regulation of eating behavior, little is known about the mechanisms of human taste perception. Here, I review recent findings on human taste processing and discuss the main factors that have hindered human taste research from progressing at the pace of the other sensory modalities. I mention methodological hurdles that have impeded much-needed neuroscientific applications in general and electrophysiological studies in particular. I argue that the current foci – on animal models on one hand, and neuroimaging in humans on the other – should be adjusted to include human electrophysiology because this approach could capture dynamically changing aspects of neuronal responses that remain uncharted territory in gustation.
