Abstract

Technology for the transition of light and sound over long distances, e.g. TV and radio, has revolutionized society. On the contrary, the technology to perceive a smell remotely is in its infancy, and has severe limitations such as latency, residual and infidelity. A system and methods are disclosed to allow smells to be perceived remotely. It is based on the brain waves associated with the olfactory bulb.
