Neuroscent aims to analyze EEG signals induced by olfactory stimuli in individuals with normal and impaired olfactory functions, with a focus on patients with tinnitus. The study seeks to develop reliable diagnostic methods using EEG to differentiate between normosmic and hyposmic subjects during olfactory tests, potentially enhancing our understanding of the brain's response to olfactory stimuli. This 24-month interventional study with a device to be patented will involve 1000 participants and aims to establish more effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools for olfactory disorders
