Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the emotional responses via odor information processing, through the method in which we presented an odor stimulus together with a peri-threshold emotional visual stimulus(a face with happiness or disgust expression). Results showed that under-threshold negative visual stimulus made odor valence evaluation as unpleasant, suggesting that "implicit" odor information-manipulation is effective in controlling or minimizing various conscious cognitive biases that would mask or disturb the effects of targeted specific cognitive effects.
