Computational approach to the human sense of smell

Neurophysiology and interoception of breathing

Neuroimaging: functional MRI

EEG and intracranial recordings

LLM-based perceptual evaluation

At PERL, we integrate advanced computational frameworks to decode the intricacies of human scent perception.

Our investigations dive into the vital link between rhythmic breathing and internal neural states of being.

Utilizing state-of-the-art imaging and intracranial data, we map the complex landscape of memory and smell.
