Aroma/Olfactory BCI & Dementia Neurobiomarker

Our project explores the connection between the sense of smell and neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Using innovative and non-invasive multimodal neuroimaging techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electrobulbography (EBG), we aim to monitor brain responses related to olfaction, where EBG is a novel technique for measuring neural activity from the olfactory bulb.

By combining these tools with advanced machine learning and AI algorithms, we are developing a novel approach to detect early signs of dementia and support healthy aging. The sense of smell is a sensitive marker for cognitive decline, and our work seeks to harness this for early diagnostics.

This interdisciplinary research bridges neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and healthcare—paving the way for impactful applications in human well-being and socially responsible AI technologies.
