Jonas Olofsson

psychologist Sweden

Jonas Olofsson is a Swedish psychology professor known for his research on the sense of smell and its implications in cognitive science. In his book, 'The Forgotten Sense: The New Science of Smell,' he challenges long-held beliefs about human olfactory abilities, arguing that humans can smell as well as, if not better than, many animals. Olofsson's academic journey began with an interest in history, which shifted to cognitive science after he learned about the relationship between smell and Alzheimer's disease. His work highlights the often-overlooked importance of smell in human experience and its connections to emotions, memories, and even political views.
