A book offering rich discussions about olfactory perception and the influences of smell on behavior and emotions. Research on cognitive function has shown that external stimuli "trigger" neural patterns in specific areas of the brain. However, the sense of smell, which has recently begun to attract attention in neuroscience, does not operate in the same way.
What information does the nose convey to the brain and how is it perceived? A. S. Barwich turned to experts in neuroscience, psychology, chemistry, and perfumery to understand the mechanics and significance of odors. She found that smells are often unpredictable and do not correspond to well-defined neural regions. Smellosophy offers a new model for understanding how the brain perceives and processes odors.
This book analyzes the olfactory experience and stands as a reference in the field, aiming to restore the neglected status of smell.
