Olfactory signal processing

چکیده
Olfaction, the sense of smell, has received scant attention from a signal processing perspective in comparison to audition and vision. In this paper, we develop a signal processing paradigm for olfactory signals based on new scientific discoveries including the psychophysics concept of olfactory white. We describe a framework for predicting the perception of odorant compounds from their physicochemical features and use the prediction as a foundation for several downstream processing tasks. We detail formulations for odor cancellation and food steganography, and provide real-world empirical examples for the two tasks. We also discuss adaptive filtering and other olfactory signal processing tasks at a high level.

Simulation of the Freeman Model of the Olfactory Cortex:
It has been shown that a framework composed of digital signal processing (DSP) elements can be used to simulate and study Freeman’s model of the biologically realistic olfactory cortex. In this paper, based on impulse invariant transformation, a DSP environment has been developed corresponding to the original continuous-time dynamical system. The performance of the DSP system is quantitatively ...
متن کاملParallel Odor Processing by Two Anatomically Distinct Olfactory Bulb Target Structures
The olfactory cortex encompasses several anatomically distinct regions each hypothesized to provide differential representation and processing of specific odors. Studies exploring whether or not the diversity of olfactory bulb input to olfactory cortices has functional meaning, however, are lacking. Here we tested whether two anatomically major olfactory cortical structures, the olfactory tuber...
متن کاملRobust Stimulus Encoding in Olfactory Processing: Hyperacuity and Efficient Signal Transmission
We investigate how eÆcient signal transmission and reconstruction can be achieved within the olfactory system. We consider a theoretical model of signal integration within the olfactory pathway that derives from its convergent architecture and results in increased sensitivity to chemical stimuli between the rst and second stages of the system. This phenomenon of signal integration in the olfact...
متن کاملOlfactory Impairment Is Correlated with Confabulation in Alcoholism: Towards a Multimodal Testing of Orbitofrontal Cortex
BACKGROUND Olfactory abilities are now a flourishing field in psychiatry research. As the orbitofrontal cortex appears to be simultaneously implicated in odour processing and executive impairments, it has been proposed that olfaction could constitute a cognitive marker of psychiatric states. While this assumption appears promising, very few studies have been conducted on this topic among psycho...
متن کاملInsulin Modulates Neural Activity of Pyramidal Neurons in the Anterior Piriform Cortex
Insulin is an important peptide hormone that regulates food intake and olfactory function. While a multitude of studies investigated the effect of insulin in the olfactory bulb and olfactory epithelium, research on how it modulates higher olfactory centers is lacking. Here we investigate how insulin modulates neural activity of pyramidal neurons in the anterior piriform cortex, a key olfactory ...
