Narrative:
On our [takeoff roll] I saw and smelled smoke coming from under the glareshield by the captain's EFIS control panel. The V1 call had not been made at 131 or 133 KTS and; at approximately 127 KTS; the abort was made and the aircraft stopped [on the runway]. ATC was notified of what happened and told them we needed the fire trucks. Also; I made a PA to remain seated until we [evaluated] the situation. We ran the appropriate checklist and the smoke and fumes subsided. The opc was referenced for the reject and we made sure fire personnel remained clear of the main wheels. After communicating with the fire personnel; we were told that the exterior of the aircraft was good except the brakes were scanned with high temperatures. We communicated with dispatch by ACARS about the high speed reject. We felt it was safe to move the aircraft back to the terminal since we got the okay from fire personnel. Also; the smoke had dissipated. We were followed back to the gate by fire trucks for safety reasons. While taxiing in; operations was contacted and told that no ground personnel should get near the main wheels due to the heat in case the fuse plugs melted. Also; the fire personnel scanned the cockpit with a heat scanner to check temperatures. They found the temperature in the area where the smoke was coming from showed a much higher temperature on the captain's EFIS area as opposed to the first officer's side. We spoke with maintenance; dispatch; [and] chief pilot. All passengers were deplaned at the gate with no further issues.
