Researchers find how sense of smell can affect our perception of colours

Representational Image

Boston: We receive constant environmental input through our five senses. Combining information from two or more senses, such as between odours and the smoothness of textures, pitch, colour, and musical dimensions, is one way our brain makes sense of this flood of information.
