| Research Abstract |
The progress in brain–machine interface in recent years is remarkable. For example, the artificial arms which move freely as thought in the brain, and the artificial cochleas which recover deafness persons have been developed. However, the trial of the gustatory BMI to those who have lost the taste is not yet performed. Although the main functions of oral cavity are ingestion of nutrition, it is very important for improvement in QOL that people taste foods through the mouth deliciously and safely until the last day of the life. So, in the present research, we tried to provide the fundamental informations for development of the gustatory BMI using the newly developed Juxtacellular Recording method.
