In the tears you cry: smelling women's tears reduces aggression in men

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that tears activate human olfactory receptors, even though they are odorless, affecting the brain activity associated with aggression - and leading to more peaceful and less vengeful behavior

The experimental facility, with which the researchers measured the neural activity occurring in the olfactory receptors located on the olfactory membrane in the nasal cavity. An electrode is inserted into the subject's left nostril (held in place by a support rod mounted on the nose), as well as a tube, through which the odorants are injected. The device also includes control electrodes (installed on the bridge of the nose and the earlobe).

The scientists of the Weizmann Institute of Science discovered: the degree of pleasantness of smells is the basic scale according to which the perception of smell is organized

Diagram depicting control of a wheelchair by the sniffing system. The planned route is marked in green. The black line marks the trajectory of ten healthy volunteers. The red line indicates the route taken by a patient paralyzed from the neck down. The top picture shows the results of the first activation attempt, and the bottom the results obtained in the third attempt.

A method that allows disabled people to overcome - by sniffing - different movement limitations, to write and steer a wheelchair.
