Colin Blakemore
Colin Blakemore was a renowned British neuroscientist and a prominent advocate for the study of the senses, particularly in relation to perception and cognition. He was instrumental in founding the Centre for the Study of the Senses at the University of London in 2011 alongside philosopher Barry Smith. Blakemore's research focused on the connections between sensory perception and brain function, and he was a leading voice in discussions about the significance of olfaction in cognitive health. His work gained renewed attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, as anosmia—loss of smell—became a recognized symptom of the virus, highlighting the importance of olfactory research in understanding neurological diseases.
