Sensation and Perception of Flavor

We have all heard about the five basic senses: touch, vision, audition, olfaction, and gustation. However, there is more to two of these senses than what meets the eye. Olfaction refers to the sense of smell while gustation refers to the sense of taste. Olfaction and gustation senses contain separate qualities and purposes, but when put together they create a very important feature to the quality of human life, flavor.
