Olfactory interfaces: toward implicit human-computer interaction across the consciousness continuum
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.
