Professor Charles Spence: The Perfect Meal
Recorded in London, September 2015
The Crossmodal Research Laboratory led by Professor Spence are at @xmodal on Twitter
Professor Charles Spence is a multi-award winning expert in the field of multisensory perception and neuroscience-inspired design. Established 17 years ago, he is the head and founder of the the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at Oxford University; it brings together leading psychologists, designers, sensory scientists, chefs, composers and marketers, who use the latest insights from neuroscience to design products and services that more effectively stimulate the senses of the consumer. Over the last 15 years Spence has published over 550 top-flight scientific articles, 8 books and his latest, The Perfect Meal: The multisensory science of food and dining, has just won the Popular Science Book Award in the U.S and is in reprint.
His lab’s pioneering work has had a real impact on Fortune 500 companies and Michelin starred chefs alike. It was through Heston Blumenthal’s collaborations with Spence (starting in 2002) that The Fat Duck’s infamous Sound of the Sea dish came about, and since then everyone from multinational companies to marketing agencies have been applying Spence’s sensory science to their products and experiences.
“Charles is one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of multisensory perception, he has been one of my biggest inspirations”
Heston Blumenthal
Crossmodal research is the study of how our 5 senses work together and how our brains manage and process the information that forms the extraordinarily rich multisensory experiences that fill our daily lives. Scientists believe that a better understanding of the human mind will lead to the better design of multisensory foods, products, interfaces, and environments in the future. Spence calls for a radical new way of examining and understanding the senses that has major implications for the way in which we design everything from household products, packaging to mobile phones, and from the food we eat to the places in which we work and live. Projects include a new and enhanced inflight experience at British Airways, for Toyota warning signals that generate significantly faster responses from car drivers, at Häagen-Dazs an iPhone app (with competitors Ben & Jerry soon to copy) and his relationship with the wine industry has led to new multi-sensory marketing approaches that increase the value-perception of wine.
His work in food is gaining the most momentum due to collaborations with world leading chefs and global food companies. Further to his work with Heston Blumenthal, he has teamed up with Ferran Adria's research kitchen in Barcelona, Paul Bocuse cookery school in Lyon and with the next generation of modernist chefs and mixologists including Bartender of the Year Tony Conigliaro. For over 15 years, the world’s largest food and beverage companies/brands (including PepsiCo, Diageo, Twinings, Perrier Jouet, Unilever, McDonald’s, Starbucks, and Mars) have implemented his findings to augment and enhance their consumer's experience. He now sits on the scientific advisory board of PepsiCo and much of his lab’s work is funded by global food companies. Spence consults extensively for product and packaging innovation consultancies such as IDEO, The Futures Group, Elopak, and marketing and advertising companies including Mother and i-am Associates.
Professor Spence is a passionate advocate in designing better-tasting, more stimulating, more memorable, and healthier food and drink experiences– an approach that comes under the banner of gastrophysics. Designers have always understood that good design involves all your sensors however Spence is unpicking the theory and getting behind what is really happening in the brain and why.

Steam on the Newcastle Line, featuring 3237 and 5917
In November, and with the upcoming truncation of the Newcastle branch imminent, the Lachlan Valley Railway operated special steam-hauled tours to mark the end of the 157-year history of the line. On the first of two weekends, the trains operated from Newcastle, around the Port Waratah (Carrington) loop line and back to Newcastle, hauled by either 3237 or 5917. 4906 was also present on the first shuttle.
NSW Rail Productions was present on one of the shuttle trains to Port Waratah, hauled by 3237. You can find the footage from this trip here:
3237, 4906 and 5917 are owned and operated by the Lachlan Valley Railway.

Oslo
Oslo (English pronunciation: /ˈɒzloʊ/, OZ-loh, Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈuʂˈlu] ( ) or, rarer [ˈusˈlu] or [ˈuʂlu]) is the capital of Norway and most populous city in Norway. Oslo constitutes a county and a municipality.
Founded around 1000 AD, and established a kaupstad or trading place in 1048 by King Harald III, the city was elevated to a bishopric in 1070 and a capital under Haakon V around 1300. Personal unions with Denmark from 1397 to 1523 and again from 1536 to 1814 and with Sweden from 1814 to 1905 reduced its influence. After being destroyed by a fire in 1624, the city was moved closer to Akershus Castle during the reign of King Christian IV and renamed Christiania in his honour. It was established as a municipality (formannskapsdistrikt) on 1 January 1838. Following a spelling reform, it was known as Kristiania from 1877 to 1925, when its original Norwegian name was restored.

SUMMARY
=======
Bermuda () is a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is approximately 1,070 km (665 mi) east-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina; 1,236 km (768 mi) south of Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia; and 1,759 km (1,093 mi) north of Cuba. The capital city is Hamilton. Bermuda is self-governing, with its own constitution and its own government, which enacts local laws, while the United Kingdom retains responsibility for defence and foreign relations.
Bermuda's two largest economic sectors are offshore insurance and reinsurance, and tourism. Bermuda had one of the world's highest GDP per capita for most of the 20th century. The island has a subtropical climate and lies in the hurricane belt and thus is prone to related severe weather; however, it is somewhat protected by a coral reef that surrounds the island and its position at the north of the belt, which limits the direction and severity of approaching storms.

SUMMARY
=======
This list of Massachusetts Institute of Technology alumni includes students who studied as undergraduates or graduate students at MIT's School of Engineering; School of Science; MIT Sloan School of Management; School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences; School of Architecture and Planning; or Whitaker College of Health Sciences. Since there are more than 120,000 alumni (living and deceased), this listing cannot be comprehensive. Instead, this article summarizes some of the more notable MIT alumni, with some indication of the reasons they are notable in the world at large. All MIT degrees are earned through academic achievement, in that MIT has never awarded honorary degrees in any form.The MIT Alumni Association defines eligibility for membership as follows:
The following persons are Alumni/ae Members of the Association:
All persons who have received a degree from the Institute; and
All persons who have been registered as students in a degree-granting program at the Institute for (i) at least one full term in any undergraduate class which has already graduated; or (ii) for at least two full terms as graduate students.
