Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to research advances and application of aromachology. Aromachology uses various specific aromatic compounds to enhance and stimulate the senses, create appropriate emotions and activate certain biochemical processes. Its impact on human emotions can be examined not only through traditional research approaches but by using biometric and neuroimaging tools too.
The Special Issue connects interdisciplinary approaches of neuroscience and information technologies for the effective and efficient aromatization of spaces. In addition, an essential part of aromachology research is the consideration of air quality, which has a fundamental impact on unconscious human perception.
We seek submissions ranging from the exploration of applications of aromachology. Papers focusing on methodological issues and technological solutions for aromachology are especially welcome.
Topics of interest include:
- Aromachology in healthcare;
- Industrial applications of aromachology;
- Health-promoting applications of aromachology;
- Methodological issues in aromachology research;
- Technological advancements and smart research solutions in aromachology.
