NIMS has been developing chemical sensors as a key component of artificial olfaction technology (olfactory sensors), with the ...

The brain uses timed mechanism for odor perception. Encoding the chemical information of a smell is followed by detecting ...

To overcome those limitations, some research groups are turning back to the brain for fresh ideas. But a handful of them are choosing what may at first seem like an unlikely starting point: the sense ...

It’s clear that genes, receptors and neurons all play a role in detecting odors. But much of how we make sense of what we sniff remains mysterious. A neuroscientist explains. By Daniela Hirschfeld / ...

Visualization of the odor discrimination process by an XAI-assisted olfactory sensor. Depending on the odorant molecule, the AI identifies the most responsive receptor materials and highlights the key ...

Dennis Mathew is an associate professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno, and studies insect olfaction at the cellular and molecular levels. He is also a co-director of ...

Here’s an interesting problem. When it comes to human senses, we’ve found ways to reproduce the look and sound of the real world reasonably accurately. There are even technologies for reproducing the ...
