Odor localization and sniffing.
For humans, the localization of an odorant seems only possible if the odorant also stimulates the trigeminal nerve. There is, however, some evidence that active sniffing may affect this ability and facilitate the localization of pure odorants. Therefore, we tested the ability of 40 subjects to localize a pure odorant and a mixed olfactory/trigeminal stimulus under 2 stimulation conditions: eith...
متن کاملThe fluid mechanics of arthropod sniffing in turbulent odor plumes.
Many arthropods capture odorant molecules from the environment using antennae or antennules bearing arrays of chemosensory hairs. The penetration of odorant-carrying water or air into the spaces between these chemosensory hairs depends on the speed at which they are moved through the surrounding fluid. Therefore, antennule flicking by crustaceans and wing fanning by insects can have a profound ...
متن کاملSniffing behavior of mice during performance in odor-guided tasks.
Sniffing, a rhythmic inhalation and exhalation of air through the nose, is a behavior thought to play a critical role in shaping how odor information is represented and processed by the nervous system. Although the mouse has become a prominent model for studying olfaction, little is known about sniffing behavior in mice. Here, we characterized mouse sniffing behavior by measuring intranasal pre...
متن کاملSwarm robotic odor localization
This paper presents an investigation of odor localization by groups of autonomous mobile robots using principles of Swarm Intelligence. We describe a distributed algorithm by which groups of agents can solve the full odor localization task more efficiently than a single agent. We then demonstrate that a group of real robots under fully distributed control can successfully traverse a real odor p...
متن کاملDistributed Odor Source Localization
This paper presents an investigation of odor localization by groups of autonomous mobile robots. First, we describe a distributed algorithm by which groups of agents can solve the full odor localization task. Next, we establish that conducting polymerbased odor sensors possess the combination of speed and sensitivity necessary to enable real world odor plume tracing and we demonstrate that simp...
