The biggest breakthrough in memory science.

Memory Air is developed from the discovery that the olfactory system offers a direct pathway to the brain’s memory centers.

Olfactory enrichment can change your brain.

A 2023 UC Irvine study exposed 43 participants to scientifically selected novel, rotating scents at night. The results are the greatest increase to human memory ever recorded.

There are neurons in your nose

Your nose contains the only neurons in the body directly exposed to the outside world. Those neurons connect directly to the brain's memory and emotional centers, giving your sense of smell a unique influence on brain function.

Three decades of neuroscience

Smell is the only human sense that directly reaches the brain’s memory and emotional centers. 36 peer-reviewed scientific published studies have proven activating this connection improves brain health.

Designed to improve sleep.

Your brain performs some of its most important work while you sleep. Memory Air is designed to complement those natural overnight processes—working quietly in the background while you rest.

Three decades of research.

From sleep and mood to brain structure and memory, decades of research continue to show that olfactory enrichment has measurable effects on brain health.

Frequently asked questions

What is Memory Air™ technology?

The Memory Air™ device is an innovation based upon the latest science of Olfactory Enrichment, which shows that scientifically-selected odorants —delivered in a specific sequence — directly stimulate the brain’s main highway to your memory center.  Now, with this revolutionary, convenient scent delivery system, you can improve your brain function in ways that aromatherapy, supplements, drugs, or computer games can’t come close to. Memory Air™ is the perfect self-care for your brain.

What is the science behind Olfactory Enrichment?

The science of Olfactory Enrichment is a fundamental breakthrough discovered by Dr. Michael Leon, Professor Emeritus, Neurobiology and Behavior, University of California Irvine, along with a group of eminent scientists around the world.  Named one of the top 2% of scientists in the world, Dr. Leon discovered that when the olfactory system is stimulated in a very specific way, your brain function, sleep and memory are improved. To get these brain benefits, a variety of scents must be delivered consistently every day. So Dr. Leon developed Memory Air™, a device that does the whole process for you automatically, while you sleep!

How does Memory Air™ technology work?

Memory Air™ is designed to start dispensing your therapy one hour after you go to sleep.  On your first night with Memory Air™, you simply push the Start button one time when you go to bed, and then you’re done! 

The Start button does not need to be pushed every night.  Memory Air™ will remember when you go to bed and do everything automatically.

Then when your monthly replacement Scent Belt arrives at your home, just remove the old belt and replace it with the new one. You do not have to push the Start button again.

On which side of the bed should I place my Memory Air™?

You should place the device on the side of the bed you face while you sleep. So, if you sleep on your right side, then place the device on your left side of the bed. If you sleep on your left side, you should place your device on the right side of the bed.  If you predominantly sleep on your back, either side will do.

What are the most commonly reported benefits of Memory Air™?

People using Memory Air™ notice better sleep and that they have fewer problems with their memory and less foggy thinking. In addition, they say that they can smell things better than before, and that they feel energized.
