I went in search of clever people talking about 'neuromodulation', and stumbled upon this blog post about cooking. Excellent, well done internet!

good article. I remember when I was teaching myself some traditional Indian recipes and had to go pretty deep to learn the omitted techniques. Eventually I found Vah chef on youtube and that solved all my problems! https://www.youtube.com/user/vahchef
Yes some cuisines have a magical code which require deep exploration and/or personal transmission - Indian food falls into this category. So many secret tips and hidden details. Thai is another example - hard to mimic well unless you’re guided through by someone who knows.

I don't think it's unique to particular cuisines, it's just that we're deaf to the unspoken techne of our own Western culinary traditions. we've just already absorbed it if we've learned how to cook in our native cuisines. learning a non-native one takes research.

Thing is - there is a significant history of detailed recording of recipes in Western traditions, much less so in Thai villages. I don’t want to promote culinary Orientalism, but the oral knowledge of those in the know far outstrips everything I could possibly have ever read.
