Introduction

My research project aims at exploring the cognitive process underlying the process of smell in humans and identifying their neural bases. My main expertise is olfactory memory and especially episodic memory. I am also interested in quality discrimination, emotional response, and attention, and in the behavioral and neural impact of odor expertise. To carry out this research, I couple brain imaging techniques with experimental paradigms from cognitive psychology.
