This PhD project investigates how the brain integrates tactile (touch) and olfactory (smell) information, focusing on how this interaction influences emotional and behavioural responses. Using advanced neuroimaging techniques like EEG and fMRI, the research aims to uncover the neural mechanisms behind this sensory integration, which remains poorly understood. Conducted through a collaboration between the University of Liverpool and Unilever, the project combines academic research with real-world applications.
