ABSTRACT: An inexpensive stimulation system for recording eye-blink responses elicited by taste stimuli has been developed using a manually controlled syringe and tasimetric sensor. The system requires neither an intra-oral device nor clamping of the head and tongue for natural eye-blink responses. The data recorded by the system have a high temporal resolution that is likely to be sufficient for the analysis of eye-blink responses based on video recordings.
