Electrical stimulation of the human olfactory mucosa was performed by means of an electrode, which was attached to a rhinoscope. Stimulations of the nasal mucosa did not evoke the sensation of smell, but suppressed smell sensations of presented odorants. When electrical stimulation followed the exposure to an odorant within a certain interval, the stimulus recalled the faded sensation of the preceding odorant. Electrical stimulation without prior natural stimulation produced unpleasant sensations in three patients with a history of temporal lobe seizures and olfactory auras, but not in patients with primary generalized or focal epilepsy.
通过连接在鼻镜上的电极对人体嗅黏膜进行电刺激。对鼻黏膜的刺激并未引发嗅觉，但抑制了所呈现气味剂的嗅觉感受。当在一定时间间隔内，电刺激紧跟在一种气味剂暴露之后时，该刺激能唤起先前气味剂逐渐消退的感觉。在没有先前自然刺激的情况下进行电刺激，在三名有颞叶癫痫和嗅觉先兆病史的患者中产生了不愉快的感觉，但在原发性全身性或局灶性癫痫患者中未产生这种情况。
