The Philosophy of Smell. What the Nose Tells the Brain

The Philosophy of Smell. What the Nose Tells the Brain

Today, people are too focused on visual images, underestimating their own surprisingly sharp sense of smell. Science popularizer and cognitive scientist Ann-Sophie Barwich, along with experts in the fields of neurobiology, psychology, chemistry, and perfumery, conducted research in search of... answers to the questions: what does the nose tell the brain and how does the brain understand it? How does olfactory memory work and why does our behavior depend on 'chemistry'? Where do we in our heads meet the 'nose' with the 'eye'? The author discusses how the biological mechanics and "meanings" of smells are studied, as well as interesting developments in the fields of neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics, chemistry, and curious experiments in perfumery and winemaking.
