| summary | An important issue in cognitive psychology of smells is to understand how the human brain represents odor objects. Representation of visual objects is far better understood; we know that physical and perceptual attributes of visual stimuli are represented in a distributed and hierarchical manner, but it is still unclear how chemical properties of odorant molecules and perceptual aspects of odors are represented along the human olfactory pathway. In this talk, I will present a series of psychophysical and fMRI studies that tested the hypothesis that the multidimensional representation of odors is the result of a neural mechanism that processes similarities of chemical information and perceptual information at various stages of the olfactory system, from piriform cortex to temporal areas. |
