Brain responses to odor mixtures with sub-threshold components
Although most odorants we encounter in daily life are mixtures of several chemical substances, we still lack significant information on how we perceive and how the brain processes mixtures of odorants. We aimed to investigate the processing of odor mixtures using behavioral measures and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The odor mixture contained a target odor (ambroxan) in a concen...
متن کاملPsychometric functions for ternary odor mixtures and their unmixed components.
People are often able to reliably detect a mixture of 2 or more odorants, even if they cannot reliably detect the individual mixture components when presented individually. This phenomenon has been called mixture agonism. However, for some mixtures, agonism among mixture components is greater in barely detectable mixtures than in more easily detectable mixtures (level dependence). Most studies ...
متن کاملLatency and accuracy of discriminations of odor quality between binary mixtures and their components.
Subjects made timed, same-different discriminations of odor quality, with the following principal findings: (i) latency reflected accuracy, with difficult discriminations, i.e. those between 50-50 mixtures and their components, requiring more time than less difficult discriminations, i.e. those between unmixed chemicals. This finding demonstrated the face validity of latency as a measure of qua...
متن کاملThe EM algorithm with gradient function update for discrete mixtures with known (fixed) number of components
The paper is focussing on some recent developments in nonparametric mixture distributions. It discusses nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation of the mixing distribution and will emphasize gradient type results, especially in terms of global results and global convergence of algorithms such as vertex direction or vertex exchange method. However, the NPMLE (or the algorithms constructing it...
متن کاملPerceptual and mental mixtures in odor and in taste: are there similarities and differences between experiments or between modalities? Reply to Schifferstein (1997)
D. Algom and W. S. Cain (1991b) found relative invariance in the pattern of judgments of perceptual and mental mixtures of banana and grass odors. Invariance held both for judgments of total intensity and for those of an individual constituent. For 2 tastes, H. N. J. Schifferstein (1997) found a pattern with both similarities to and differences from D. Algom and W. S. Cain's. A key difference l...
