A Presence of Departed Acts: Understanding Multisensory Interference and Working Memory Capacity with Focus on Olfactory Interactions
Working memory is the brain’s mental scratchpad, juggling limited information from our senses. While sight and sound have been studied extensively, smell remains a mystery. Barwich and Bainbridge collaborate to explore how the brain processes odors alongside other senses, using a novel time-locked and precise sniff-EEG protocol developed in Barwich’s lab to track how smells compete or cooperate with visual and auditory inputs. Do they share the same mental space neural resources, or does smell operate independently? This project aims to uncover how this often-overlooked sense integrates into our mental world, offering new insights into the architecture of memory itself. Well. And that just happened: Gabe Severino's new submission (for ALIFE 2024) was not only picked for the plenary session but won... the best paper... of the entire conference. The man is on a roll! So thrilled for his creative mind and meticulous methodological work to be recognized!  The amazingly talented Gabriel Severino has landed a touchdown:
