AI and 3D Imaging Reveal Tongue's Unique Traits

AI and 3D imaging have revealed that the surface of each person's tongue, with its unique papillae patterns, is distinct. By analyzing over two thousand detailed scans from fifteen individuals, AI models were able to predict personal characteristics such as age and gender with up to 85% accuracy based on tongue features. This breakthrough has implications for personalized food development, early oral cancer diagnosis, and a deeper understanding of taste and touch variations. The research highlights the intricate biological uniqueness of the human tongue and opens doors to numerous health and culinary applications.
