Odor imagery (OI), or the ability to mentally simulate the presence of a smell, is a difficult cognitive function and is therefore misunderstood in terms of its neural underpinnings. In particular, the diverging results obtained in neuroimaging studies could be explained in part by the characteristics of the visual cues used to trigger this task. In this study, we investigated this question by comparing the effects of plain color patches, pictures, and words during OI using neurophysiological and psychometrical measurements.
