Semantical Visual Information Facilitates Odor Imagery: A Combined Neurophysiological and Psychometrical Approach
Our findings suggest that OI can occur without significant involvement of the primary olfactory regions, contradicting most of the literature on this topic. Only little behavioral and neurophysiological effects of visual conditions were revealed in our sample of good odor imagers, although semantical cues seem to require fewer cognitive resources to generate odor images. This assumption remains to be confirmed using specific tools for the measurement of cognitive load.
