Hello, and g'day!

It looks like the title is confusing - because it is.

But, let me explain this more further, it possible to feel senses, like taste, smell, touch and hear, outside of the places that you can find these senses. For example, you can smell the sweet odor of an lavander camp in the French rural zone, inside of your home, without a lavander plant on your garden or even living in the France. You get it?

Well, how this technology could work? It can WORKS? Well, I think that can happens, and this is happening right now since 2022. I'll say why it works:

If you don't knows - the brain works with electric pulses that is interpreted on every thing that we feels, like vision, hearing, pain, movement, intelligence, and every that we do and are doing. So, what if a computer get feelings by sensors and transform it in electric pulses, that electric pulses will be transported in our huge web of cables of electricity, like our Internet, between the world, and goes to our computer, or a computer inside of a television, and reinterpretes it and activate a odor liberation system that can make us smell a lavander camp on the French rural zone. Possible applications of this new technology is multisensoring televisors and multismell wickless candles, for example. Or as Osmo did, mapping the odors using the analysis of the molecules that make these smells at granular level, that is simple at first sight, but is way more complex that it.

Its surprising that something that just like 30 years ago its was impossible and a idea completely crazy - and there we are...

Companies like Osmo and Noar are doing it since 2022, it obvious that is parallel technologies, but, all coming for the same result.

I hope that you heared me to this point, and... have a nice flight.

Yes I’m sure it is possible in principle to synthesise smells by suitable nerve stimulation. You say this has been done. Can you provide a link to a report of this work, so that we can read about it?

Well, there is some links for researches, but, i live in Brazil, so, all of them is in Portuguese, but is possible for translate it, i hope that won't will be a big deal:

https://cdc.unb.br/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Feitosa_et_al_2022.pdf - A research made by Universidade de Brasília (UnB) and Universidade Fedral de Uberlândia (UFU) about the impacts of COVID-19 disease on sensorial smelling, but still have some relatories of electric estimulation of the olfactory bulb.

https://repositorio.usp.br/item/000710239 - A research of Universidade de São Paulo (USP), about computational modeling of the olfactory system, it has relevant insights about dynamics of olfactory bulb to different stimulus.

Smellivision, then. Your receiver would need a quite sophisticated chemosynthesis unit to make small amounts of organic chemicals and volatilize them. The expense would probably be so much that it would be used first in moviehouses, with an advanced ventilation system to distribute the odors through the audience. (and it might be too expensive for the multiple scent wickless candles you mentioned)

Pretty sure Disney has been doing this for decades. https://twolittlesparks.com/vacation-advice/iconic-disney-world-smells/

I found the Disney "men's restroom the cleaning crew missed" extremely realistic!

Apparently people can taste and smell garlic through their feet -

https://www.popsci.com/you-can-taste-garlic-with-your-feet/

Unlike synesthesia (wikipedia - "Synesthesia or synaesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People with synesthesia may experience colors when listening to music, see shapes when smelling certain scents, or perceive tastes when looking at words") it seems that one of the crucial aromatic chemicals in garlic can be absorbed through skin and be carried around the body by the bloodstream to mouth and nose. So technically you still taste and smell it through nose and mouth.

(As an odd anecdote, possibly unrelated, I sometimes get odd 'itchy' nerve sensations in the 'webs' of my fingers, that will be echoed by unpleasant nerve sensations in my teeth. Crossed wires somewhere?)

Foot Orgasm Syndrome: Genitals And Feet Can Have A Curiou...

It's been proposed that the parts of the brain that process feet and genitals are very close.

...In essence, they argued that nerve damage had resulted in sensory information being misinterpreted by the brain. The brain was getting confused between sensory inputs to her left foot and her genitals, resulting in this unusual case of foot orgasm syndrome. 

The idea is perhaps not as out-there as you might assume. Vilayanur Ramachandran, director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California, San Diego, once proposed some people have foot fetishes because the part of the brain that processes the sensation people get from feet is close to the part that registers genital stimulation.

most of the eroginous zone's, aren't genital...

Don't make me break out the "Pulp fiction" debate... 😉
