TL;DR
Observed interactions were found to be dependent upon the nature of the sensory modalities involved; physico-chemical mechanisms could only in some instances entirely explain these interactions.

European Journal of NeuroscienceTaste‐olfactory convergence, and the representation of the pleasantness of flavour, in the human brain
640 Citations2003Ivan E. de Araújo, Edmund T. Rolls +3 more
An event‐related fMRI study investigates where in the human brain these interactions between taste and odour stimuli (administered retronasally) may be realized, and provides evidence on the neural substrate for the convergence of taste and olfactory stimuli to produce flavour in humans.
Journal of NeuroscienceGustatory, olfactory, and visual convergence within the primate orbitofrontal cortex
585 Citations1994Edmund T. Rolls, LL Baylis
It is suggested that the orbitofrontal cortex may act as a region for convergence of multiple sensory modalities including chemosensation, and may be the first cortical area of convergence for these three modalities in primates.

A psychophysical method is used to show cross-modal summation of subthreshold concentrations of selected gustatory and olfactory stimuli, thus demonstrating that central neural integration of taste and smell inputs generates a representation of flavor perception.

Chemical SensesConfusing Tastes and Smells: How Odours can Influence the Perception of Sweet and Sour Tastes
381 Citations1999Richard J. Stevenson
The study demonstrated that the effects of odour on taste perception are not limited to sweetness enhancement and apply to sour as well as sweet tastes and is consistent with an explanation of the taste properties of odours in terms of prior flavour-taste associations.

Chemical SensesLimiting response alternatives in time-intensity scaling: an examination of the halo-dumping effect
320 Citations1994Colleen Cornelius Clark, Harry T. Lawless
Time-related measurements pose some challenges to psychophysics and to applied sensory testing methods including control of psychological biases which have been found in single-point scaling, this research examined enhancement of ratings when response alternatives were limited in time-intensity scaling tasks using repeated category ratings.

159 Citations1999I. Baek
The relationship between perceived aroma and the volatile concentration measured in-nose was investigated during eating of a model food and the amount of volatile present did not correlate well with the sensory analysis, but the rates of volatile release were different for the different gels and showed a good correlation with sensory data.
