  • MediaDB / «Philosophy of smell. What the nose tells the brain" by Anne-Sophie Barwich: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2024 / Today people are too focused on visual images, underestimating their own amazingly acute sense of smell. Science popularizer and cognitive scientist Anne-Sophie Barwich, together 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 in our head does the “nose” meet the “eye”? The author talks about how biological mechanics and the “meanings” of smells are studied, and also about interesting developments in the field of neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics, chemistry and interesting experiments in perfumery and winemaking.
