Our Unique Sense of Smell (OUSOS): An Olfactory Research Program
OUSOS is a research program investigating olfaction, our evolutionarily oldest sensory system. The program aims to increase understanding of how the sense of smell is cognitively processed by investigating how the mind processes olfaction through six research projects.
The program is rooted in cognitive psychology. Yet, it nicely relates to current developments in game design. Simon Niedenthal is at the forefront of using the sense of smell in game design. The fourth project, Expanding the world of smell through odor game interventions, develops and tests “brain games†that engage and strengthen the sense of smell in order to impact food-related behaviors like picky eating, flavor appreciation, and food cravings.
The six-year program began in February 2015 and will conclude in February 2021. The project is headquartered at the Gösta Ekman Laboratory at Stockholm University, with research also conducted at Umeå University (Sweden). The research program is funded by a $3.7 million grant from the Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences (Riksbankens Jubeliumsfond). This is one of the largest grants in the history of Swedish psychology.

Smell & new narrative experience
Goldilocks and the Three Bears: The Smelly Version is just the first in a series of children’s classics that was on display at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York in 2015. Called Sensory Stories: An Exhibition of New Narrative Experiences, the exhibit featured technology that expands upon traditional story delivery methods and the way they play off the senses.
“But First, Let Me Take a Smelfie” – Newsweek
Like the oPhone, Goldilocks and the Three Bears: The Smelly Version is the brainchild of Edwards and one of his former students, 24-year-old Rachel Field, who co-founded the startup Vapor Communications in 2013. The book is just the first in a series of children’s classics that will become available for iPad later this year from Melcher Media, and which was on display at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York from April to July of this year. Called Sensory Stories: An Exhibition of New Narrative Experiences, the exhibit featured technology that expands upon traditional story delivery methods and the way they play off the senses.
