Abstract：Drawing upon cutting-edge research and insights from multidisciplinary expert, this consensus seeks to provide feasible technical and clinical pathway recommendations for the perception reconstruction in patients with lifelong anosmia. The document encompasses criteria for patient inclusion and exclusion, bio-inspired olfactory sensing strategies, spatiotemporal dynamic electrical stimulation modulation schemes utilizing brain-computer interfaces, perioperative management, long-term follow-up procedures, and a comprehensive ethical and risk governance framework. It is important to note that research on olfactory neural prostheses is still in the early stages of exploration. Therefore, translational research and clinical trials should be carried out steadily, adhering strictly to ethical standards and quality control measures. The ultimate objective is to achieve the safe, effective, and long-term reconstruction of artificial olfactory perception, thereby enhancing China's impact in the international academic arena within this field.
