Timeline describing the experimental procedure used in Demattè et al.’s (2007) experiment to demonstrate the crossmodal influence of pleasant versus unpleasant olfactory stimuli on young women’s ratings of men’s faces. Note that the olfactory and visual stimuli were varied randomly on a trial-by-trial basis. Notice also how, like in the majority of other studies of olfactory influences on visual attractiveness, the onset of the olfactory stimulus occurred prior to that of the visual stimulus.
