- Predicting Odor Pleasantness with an Electronic Nose. Haddad, Rafi; Abebe Medhanie; Yehudah Roth; David Harel; Noam Sobel // PLoS Computational Biology;Apr2010, Vol. 6 Issue 4, p1
A primary goal for artificial nose (eNose) technology is to report perceptual qualities of novel odors. Currently, however, eNoses primarily detect and discriminate between odorants they previously ''learned''. We tuned an eNose to human odor pleasantness estimates. We then used the eNose to...
- Hedonic Judgments of Chemical Compounds Are Correlated with Molecular Size. Zarzo, Manuel // Sensors (14248220);2011, Vol. 11 Issue 4, p3667
Different psychophysical works have reported that, when a wide range of odors is assessed, the hedonic dimension is the most salient. Hence, pleasantness is the most basic attribute of odor perception. Recent studies suggest that the molecular size of a given odorant is positively correlated...

- An olfactory receptor for food-derived odours promotes male courtship in Drosophila. Grosjean, Yael; Rytz, Raphael; Farine, Jean-Pierre; Abuin, Liliane; Cortot, J�r�me; Jefferis, Gregory S. X. E.; Benton, Richard // Nature;10/13/2011, Vol. 478 Issue 7368, p236
Many animals attract mating partners through the release of volatile sex pheromones, which can convey information on the species, gender and receptivity of the sender to induce innate courtship and mating behaviours by the receiver. Male Drosophila melanogaster fruitflies display stereotyped...
