NCT ID NCT05308433
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how different visual prompts—like words, pictures, or colors—activate the brain's smell center in 30 healthy adults. Using fMRI scans, researchers aimed to find the best way to trigger a sense of smell through imagination. The goal is to use this knowledge to reduce cybersickness (motion sickness from virtual reality). This is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
