Excited to share our new publication on the influence of odor perception on memory. Congratulations to @joantarridav.bsky.social for initiating this fascinating line of research in our lab.
🧠👃 Can a _brief smell_ change how we remember something seconds later?
We used EEG + memory testing to show that odors trigger sustained brain activity—and shape memory for events happening after the smell disappears.
