I predict a future where once again porn is the cutting edge with a cutting edge technology. porn + vr + smell
Oh god, do we really want to have the smells of sex when watching porn? On the other hand, I see an opportunity even without tech: porn star perfume collabs: Spray some Gukki Bloom and press play on that video to smell what the star was wearing on the day. But I guess high-end perfume brands don't want to be associated with actors of the flesh.

Still have it, intermittently. A sort of nameless-but-familiar "chemical" smell that comes and goes, along with any sense of taste. That is, I have bad days with no taste, just a chemical smell. Other days I have a pretty good sense of smell, generally with a good sense of taste. Intriguingly some of the really unpleasant smells never get through to me - I could probably work at a sewage works now. Worryingly I have…
There has been promising work on olfactory training, which you can do very inexpensively at home. If you can, I would consider seeing any ENT first to rule out polyps, etc.

Thanks for the info. I'm on top of it (in the ways you described) but still appreciate it and maybe someone else will see your comment.
that's an interesting mix of smells. i can't help but wonder if it's resulting from stimulation or the sensing of byproducts of the process itself.
If they’re using enough ultrasound energy to create a physical reaction inside the subjects head strong enough to smell like a burning camp fire, I can’t imagine they’d survive long enough to report it. Maybe I’m misunderstanding your implication?
i wonder if some kind of inhalable anesthetic would be a good control. ie, if the normal sensory pathways are blocked and the lifu stim of the olfactory bulb still creates the percept, then maybe it would be evidence that it is working as it appears...
