Research project What our brain knows from using our nose
The project "What our brain knows from using our nose: Understanding the neural representations of odor memories" aims to discover how the human brain recognizes and identifies odors and how odors are linked to particular places.
Our method is to systematically compare memory-related brain representations of odors with those of corresponding pictures (e.g., the smell of a rose vs. a picture of a rose).
Using neuroimaging techniques available at the Stockholm University Brain Imaging Centre (SUBIC), this research will provide new insights into how memories from different sensory channels are organized, and how they might be differently affected by dementia syndromes.
