My research explores the relationship between olfactory perception, language, and eating behaviors. Drawing on the embodied cognition theory, I aim to investigate the influence of the sense of smell on the way individuals describe odors and how this may relate to atypical eating patterns. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study aims to broaden our understanding of sensory-cognitive interactions with implications for early eating disorder prevention.
