Smelling Sensations: Olfactory Crossmodal Correspondences <xref ref-type="fn" rid="jpi0138fn1"><sup>†</sup></xref>

Olfaction is ingrained into the fabric of our daily lives and constitutes an integral part perceptual reality. Within this reality, there are crossmodal interactions sensory expectations; understanding how olfaction interacts with other modalities crucial for augmenting interactive experiences more advanced multisensorial capabilities. This knowledge will eventually lead to better designs, engaging experiences, enhancing perceived quality experience. Toward end, authors investigated a range correspondences between ten olfactory stimuli different (angularity shapes, smoothness texture, pleasantness, pitch, colors, musical genres, emotional dimensions) using sample 68 observers. Consistent were obtained in all cases, including novel modality (the texture). These associations most likely mediated by both odor’s identity underlying hedonic ratings: plays role when judging dimensions but not angularity or pitch. Overall, hedonics was dominant mediator correspondences.
