Abstract

Summary:

This paper discusses the development and application of olfactory interfaces for human-computer interaction, with a focus on their use in sleep and memory consolidation.

Categories

  • Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the use of olfactory stimuli during sleep, which are less likely to awaken the user and can subtly influence cognition.
  • Cognitive function and memory: The research includes the development of closed-loop olfactory interfaces that provide scent-feedback based on real-time user information during wakefulness and sleep, which can influence memory consolidation.
  • Education and learning: The paper suggests potential applications of the olfactory interfaces in learning contexts, where scent could be used to enhance cognitive performance.
  • Well-being: The olfactory interfaces are discussed in the context of promoting relaxation and well-being, with user studies showing their significant effect on these areas.
