Talk:Sissel Tolaas

Year of birth

I have changed her year of birth to 1959 and sourced the information. I have changed the year of birth on English WP, Norwegian WP, German WP and on Wikidata. I have found several reliable sources and a complete list of the sources I found is presented on w:no:Diskusjon:Sissel Tolaas. --ツ^ツDyveldi ^{☯ prat} _{✉ post} 15:32, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Topics and applications

Some of the topics of concern in Tolaas’s work are:

• Can one learn and make systems of smells the way one learn other systems i.e. ABCs and 123s?
• Can an abstract smell molecule portray or convey a specific learned meaning by itself?
• Can one get rid of prejudices towards certain smells, and how?
• How can one describe and remember smells?
• Can smells be measured?
• How can one make tools to trigger smell memory?
• How can one use the information in smells?
• How smell can have a better and bigger impact on life and living?
• How to better interact with smells and through smells.
• Can smell as an information unit be combined with other sensory information in communication systems?
• Can smell per se as an information unit be used for the purposes of communication, tolerance and navigation?
• Can smell be used to defend, protect, concentrate, attract?
• Can smell molecules have a function, i.e. sleep; learn; memory; navigation.

Applications for and projects on:

• The use of smell per se conveying information purpose i.e. preservation, archiving, researching.
• The use of learned smell codes to convey information.
• The use of smell to convey information.
• The use of smell in education i.e. to aid in memorizing information.
• The use of smell to convey information in combination with other sensory information.
• The uses of smell to convey information; how this could be applied in language.
• The use of smell to train tolerance.
