Design a clocked synchronous state machine with four inputs, G1–G4, that are connected to pushbuttons. The machine has four outputs, L1–L4, connected to lamps or LEDs located near the like-numbered pushbuttons. There is also an ERR output connected to a red lamp. In normal operation, the L1–L4 outputs display a 1-out-of-4 pattern. At each clock tick, the pattern is rotated by one position; the ...

Smelly primes – when olfactory primes do or do not work

In applied olfactory cognition the effects that olfactory stimulation can have on (human) behavior are investigated. To enable an efficient application of olfactory stimuli a model of how they may lead to a change in behavior is proposed. To this end we use the concept of olfactory priming. Olfactory priming may prompt a special view on priming as the olfactory sense has some unique properties ...
