Abstract
A correlation dimension and a distribution pattern of spectrum intensities of a self-sustained electric oscillation were studied for an aperiodic oscillation induced by an application of electric current on a membrane of a synthetic lipid, dioleyl phosphate. The estimated dimension showed a remarkable deviation in the presence of taste substances such as quinine (above a certain threshold value) from that in the absence of these taste substances; this deviation was accompanied by a change in spectrum pattern. The present result indicates that the two variables extracted from the aperiodic oscillations will be useful as sensing information in a chemical taste sensor using lipid membranes.
