Can your nose help your brain?

"Can certain smells boost brain power? Let’s first take a look at what else certain odors can do:
* Stores are now using special odors to make customers buy things and spend more money
* Casinos are using odors to make people gamble more
* London’s Heathrow Airport has used the scent of pine needles to reduce passenger tension and stress
* Bad odors can make people more aggressive.
* Olympic weight lifters have used smelling salts before competition to boost their strength
* Although going for a closed MRI scan can make people feel as if they’re getting buried alive, a vanilla-like odor has been shown to reduce anxiety by 63 percent in patients going for such a test.
As you can see, smells are powerful forces that can change your mood and mindset. They have a surprising power to make us aggressive, happy, relaxed, anxious, focused, or aroused".

It could also suggest that the sound enhances your sense of smell, which is, of course, vice versa. Very interesting.
Nice to see you.
