Prior to EEG recording, all participants were screened for general hyposmia. For this purpose, the participants were requested to identify a bottle containing phenyl-ethyl alcohol [99%, Fluka, Germany, 1∶200 (v/v) diluted in 1,2-propanediol] in a set of three bottles, with the remaining two bottles containing the same volume of solvent (two consecutive trials). No participant had to be excluded due to general hyposmia.
