Summary In a small group of individuals the chewing behaviour was recorded through light‐emitting diodes in the Selspot system repeatedly over a 7‐month period. The test food was crispbread of a standard size. It was shown that a characteristic chewing pattern can be recognized in each test person, and that the pattern was stable during the test period with only insignificant variations in chewing rhythm and magnitude of mandibular displacement.
