Imagine !! You have done your bits at home, for the morning. Your children are off to school. You are quite relaxed. Your husband makes a fantastic cup of coffee for you…☕☕
Striking aroma … everywhere!!!
You switch on your television, and there it was your dazzling favourite program!. You are quite switched on and your eyes wide open. Very enjoyable time indeed.
But there is a down side to watching your favourite program on tv and at the same time having your coffee!!
Does the vision have any influence over the smell?
Yes. You no longer will able to smell and enjoy the yummy cup of coffee, made by your lovely husband.
Even if you stop watching the TV the effect lasts for quite a while…that you won’t smell the coffee.
This is called “Inattentional anosmia”. The brain’s ability to focus on smell takes a beating, while your brain is busy helping you get you excited about your TV program
And so….Never do anything else while sipping away your morning cup of coffee….

Husband at coffee. Again ?? :-( as alwsys
Oh yes
Thanks Saro. Interesting. On the lighter side, I neither enjoy nor get distracted by either. I miss a good cup of narasu’s coffee. And, tv programmes are hopeless.
Look forward to more of your posts.
True. Narasus..I came to know it stood for nurse’s coffee..ofcourse it is still popular for doctors and the wider public too.
Really a good message Dear Friend. Here after I will truly enjoy my cup of coffee without watching TV
Sounds like a good idea
Hmmm….
Agree, the disaster is when we eat Snacks, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner sitting on a couch watching the favorite TV shows and swallow Tons…
And complain, though I don’t eat much yet my weight has increased….
Thanks for the Insight…
So True
Today I learnt . Nice read ??
Cheers
Ha-ha, I just love sipping my cup of coffee (sometimes black and without sugar) and nothing else to go alongside … The aroma of it stays in my nostrils and the bitter taste lingers on in the taste buds ??
Is this effect gender specific? As they say fernandes can do multiple tasks at the same time..
No. Unfortunately or fortunately it is universal limitation in both sexes
This ability is universal
Inattention Anosmia nice one what about cocktail? ?
Aroma vs visual stimuli. I bet it is applicable to all kinds of aroma, that emanates from all kinds of stuff including cockail. Cheers
What u said is right…but when we have our lunch dinner all alone to eradicate the loneliness we watch tv as a company…I will try to avoid it sir…
Cheers
Nice information.
Anyhow hearafter morning coffee should be prepared by husbands only
Oh no. Hubbies hereafter no coffees for you.
Ask for a Tea instead.
