Amazing, what a great talk about one of the most neglected part of our body. In my study, we found Olfaction to operate even during "unconscious" states (i.e., sleep/anaesthetised). In fact, the highest immune response was found in the unconscious group when exposed to a threat-like cue. Somehow, the body mobilized a defense mechanism as if it detected danger within its proximity. We have no idea what may be causing this. Somehow, from a philosophical point of view, these results indicate that the line separating our conscious immediacy and our habitual mind-stream may be thinner than expected.

Respected Sir/Madam, I am making a documentary on Anosmia awareness and need a small help from you. Is it possible for me to use few positions of this or some of your videos as part of my documentary? I have been doing research in this field for many years now and reaching out to many people and groups through different channel. Please let me know if this is fine. It would be a great help. Thank you !!

Barry's Massive house and ranch, own jet plane, helicopter, boat and jet skis, Seems like a kind of down to earth sort of person as well, sure his tacky image leaves a lot to be desired, but here's a man whose made an absolute fortune by honing his craft and knowing his target audience.
