This mini-review briefly documents the phenomenon of blindsight and investigates evidence for a comparable state in olfaction. Blindsight evokes an appropriate response to a visual stimulus without any conscious visual experience or awareness of that event. For olfaction, we describe many routine aspects of perception that may occur without conscious awareness, arguably paralleling key aspects of blindsight. We then describe the limited neuropsychological evidence suggesting that people can apparently respond appropriately to odours that they cannot subjectively smell - what we would term "blindsmell".
本综述简要记录了盲视现象，并研究了嗅觉中类似状态的证据。盲视是指对视觉刺激产生适当反应，但没有任何有意识的视觉体验或对该事件的觉察。对于嗅觉，我们描述了许多可能在无意识状态下发生的常规感知方面，这可以说是与盲视的关键方面相似。然后，我们描述了有限的神经心理学证据，表明人们显然可以对他们主观上闻不到的气味做出适当反应——我们称之为“盲嗅”。
