Researchers Find Scent Activates Memory During Sleep
Want your lover to remember something, but don’t want to come right out and say it? Go for a fragrance that will bring about the memory! That’s right – It turns out that while you are sleeping, scents can trigger memories.
Researchers from the University of Lübeck and the University Medical Center, Hamburg-Eppendorf, conducted a study to see what type of impact fragrance has on memory, while people are sleeping. Tracking participants’ brain waves as they slept, they were able to detect changes that were taking place as scents were placed near the people and their brains processed the information.
What they found is that scents are closely related to the memory, with the olfactory sensing pathways leading to the hippocampus area of the brain. It is so powerful that it could bring about memories of joy, among other things.
While the research was not done to really benefit the perfume industry, we can certainly take advantage of their findings. If you want to try to trigger a memory in someone, go for the fragrance! If you can get that near them while they are sleeping, you may just do the trick!
