Unveiling the temporal dynamics of odor processing in the human brain with intracranial recordings
The majority of our current understanding on how odors are processed in the human brain arises from neuroimaging studies. While these studies have revealed a great deal about the spatial pattern of odor responses, relatively little is known about the temporal dynamics of odor processing in the human brain. In this talk I am going to present intracranial EEG and preliminary single neuron data obtained from epilepsy patients and discuss the novel insights these approaches can bring to our understanding of the neural mechanisms of human olfaction.
