When nine participants simultaneously tasted beer and listened to a rhythmic sound whose pitch could be varied, certain frequencies produced a reported harmony between taste and sound. At these harmonious pitches, participants described characteristic experiences, including an optimum taste of the beer, rhythmic sensations in the head, and tickling sensations in the jaws and mouth. Three participants also reported experiences resembling those described by people under the influence of drugs such as mescaline, psilocybin, LSD, and cannabis.
