The Sensologists briefing

⭐ The latest multi-sensory science & innovation curated for you in bite-sized portions (crossmodal, neuroscience, tech & design) ⭐ Your go-to resource for cutting-edge sensory news in under 10-mins.

This briefing explores how sensory science is reshaping how we age, remember, and connect with machines, places, and one another.

You’ll find new research on the link between handwriting and brain connectivity, how robots can prompt emotional or even sleepy reactions, and how the brain handles uncertainty, trauma, and reward. We look at emotional bonds with AI, and why your mind might go completely blank; and why that might be useful.

There are insights into scent cravings triggered by medication, smell-based hunger signals, and the use of nostalgic aromas in beauty products. Plus, you'll find fresh studies on how sound shapes memory, taste, branding, and even plant growth.

These stories reveal a world where behaviour, biology, and technology merge, prompting us to rethink how we learn, feel, and design for the future.
