APPLICABILITY OF OLFACTORY TRANSDUCERS TO THE DETECTION OF HUMAN BEINGS.
Abstract
Work on the program was directed primarily toward (1) further characterization of the electrical responses to olfactory stimulation and perfection of recording methods, (2) attempts to elucidate the effect of several biological and experimental variables on olfaction and (3) exploration of the olfactory spectrum of the antennal pits as indicated by electrical responses to compounds belonging to a number of classes. A new technique was developed for the instrumentation of the fly's olfactory organ, simplifying the former procedure and making it possible for an individual to become proficient in instrumenting a fly in a short time.
