Animals successfully thrive in noisy environments with finite resources. The necessity to function with resource constraints has led evolution to design animal brains (and bodies) to be optimal in their use of computational power while being adaptabl...
A right-left dichotomy of olfactory processes has been recognized on several levels of the perception or processing of olfactory input. On a clinical level, the lateralization of components of human olfaction is contrasted by the predominantly birhin...
The affective appraisal of odors is known to depend on their intensity (I), familiarity (F), detection threshold (T), and on the baseline affective state of the observer. However, the exact nature of these relations is still largely unknown. We there...
Color and pitch perception are largely understandable from characteristics of physical stimuli: the wavelengths of light and sound waves, respectively. By contrast, understanding olfactory percepts from odorous stimuli (volatile molecules) is much mo...
The fundamental units of olfactory perception are discrete 3D structures of volatile chemicals that each interact with specific subsets of a very large family of hundreds of odorant receptor proteins, in turn activating complex neural circuitry and p...
In general, animal behavior can be described as the neuronal-driven sequence of reoccurring postures through time. Most of the available current technologies focus on offline pose estimation with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, to correlate ...

A classical problem in neuroscience, biology, and chemistry is linking the chemical structure of odorants to their olfactory perception. This difficulty arises from the subjective nature of odor perception, incomplete understanding of the physiologic...
Recently, the comprehension of odor perception has advanced, unveiling the mysteries of the molecular receptors within the nasal passages and the intricate mechanisms governing signal transmission between these receptors, the olfactory bulb, and the ...
Olfactory memory forms the basis for biological perception and environmental adaptation. Advancing artificial intelligence to replicate this biological perception as artificial olfactory memory is essential. The widespread use of various robotic syst...
