<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method that objectively evaluates texture stimulation of food and drink.SOLUTION: A texture stimulation evaluation method includes: a cerebral blood flow measurement step of measuring a cerebral blood flow at the time when a subject takes food and drink; and a texture stimulation evaluation step of evaluating the texture stimulation of the food and drink affecting the feeling of the subject based on the cerebral blood flow measured. In the texture stimulation evaluation method, it is preferable that the texture stimulation evaluation step may be made to be a step of evaluating the texture stimulation of the food and drink affecting the feeling of the subject, based on a cerebral blood flow measured in one or more cortical areas selected from the group consisting of a frontal motor cortex, a frontal cortex, a dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, a frontal pole, an orbitofrontal cortex, a superior temporal gyrus, a middle temporal gyrus, an inferior frontal gyrus opercular part, a triangular part of inferior frontal gyrus and an inferior frontal cortex.</p> |
