Washington, Dec 7: Animals aren’t the only one who use their sense of smell to sniff out people they like, for humans also do so.
The finding is based on a study led by Wen Li, a post-doctoral fellow in the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease Centre at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine, which stated that minute amounts of odours elicited salient psychological and physiological changes, which suggests that humans get more information from barely perceptible scents.
“We evaluate people every day and make judgments about who we like or don’t like, ” said Li.
