What the Nose Tells the Mind

Beschreibung

For decades neuroscientists understood sensory perception as a matter of external stimuli ¿sparking¿ regions of the brain. But this view has a key flaw: odors don¿t line up consistently with the neural map. A. S. Barwich explores the new science of smell and urges us to rethink theories of mind and brain inspired by the mapping model.
