| This menu-driven program investigates how psychological principles determine a smell’s level of repellence. After testing natural smells found to be offensive to most people, scientists at Monell Chemical Services Center and the University of California propose that our reactions are heavily shaped by personal experience. Demonstrations of how olfactory lobes work are featured. Host Nigel Marven observes how one of nature’s worst smells, skunk, fails to bother everyone at a busy shopping mall. But this soon may change: the Monell scientists are developing the world’s first universally abhorrent odor, so disgusting it could be used for crowd control. A BBCW Production. (30 minutes, color) Can be viewed using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive. |
