That would be a different study, and it has certainly been done, but not with the same headline-grabbing results. It turns out even first year oenology students are actually pretty good at telling red wine from white when blindfolded. The real finding of the study is that the visual "aid" overpowers the evidence of taste and smell when it contradicts then.
- King-Aaron 9y agoI remember hearing about a similar study about visual cues fooling the brain - there was a Japanese group who used augmented reality to change the size of a cookie when participants looked at it. Those who were shown the cookie enlarged, didn't eat the whole cookie, thinking it would be too much. Those who were shown the cookie in reduced size, tried to scoff it down in one bite haha. Although all the cookies were the same size, the visual perception of it had a major impact in how the test subjects reacted to it - even though they were all holding the same physical sized cookie. I don't have a journal article handy, but here's a news report about it: http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/japan-diet-glasses-fool-wearers-into-eating-less/news-story/a82dc65e49dfa34794f268eb67caddd9 http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/japan-diet-glasses...
