New test of odor pleasantness in Parkinson's disease.
The New Test of Odor Pleasantness (NTOP) evaluates the hedonicity of olfactory stimulants. The aim of this study was to compare results of the NTOP, the Sniffin' Sticks test, and the Odorized Marker Test (OMT) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study sample comprised 30 PD patients (mean age 71±7.36 years) and the control group made up of 31 non-PD subjects (mean age 68±12.39 years)...
متن کاملCongruent sound can modulate odor pleasantness.
This study aimed to determine 1) whether certain background sounds can be matched with specific odors and 2) whether the background sounds can increase pleasantness for their congruent odors. In Experiment 1, congruent sounds increased odor pleasantness, but not odor intensity, significantly more than incongruent sounds. Experiment 2 demonstrated that certain background sounds can be paired wit...
متن کاملPredicting Odor Pleasantness with an Electronic Nose
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 predict the pleasantness of novel odorants, and tested these predictions in naïve subjects who had not par...
متن کاملPredicting odor pleasantness from odorant structure: pleasantness as a reflection of the physical world.
Although it is agreed that physicochemical features of molecules determine their perceived odor, the rules governing this relationship remain unknown. A significant obstacle to such understanding is the high dimensionality of features describing both percepts and molecules. We applied a statistical method to reduce dimensionality in both odor percepts and physicochemical descriptors for a large...
متن کاملHemispheric lateralization in the processing of odor pleasantness versus odor names.
It is well established that for most people linguistic processing is primarily a left hemisphere activity, whereas recent evidence has shown that basic odor perception is more lateralized to the right hemisphere. Importantly, under certain conditions, emotional responding also shows right hemisphere laterality. Hedonic (pleasantness) assessments constitute basic level emotional responses. Given...
