Maternal odor reduces the neural response to fearful faces in human infants
Maternal odor is known to play an important role in mother-infant-interaction in many altricial species such as rodents. However, we only know very little about its role in early human development.

Measurement and monitoring of air quality in terms of odor nuisance is an important problem. From a practical point of view, it would be most valuable to directly link the odor intensity with the results of analytical air monitoring.

Research Progress on the Formation Mechanism and Control of Rancid Odor in Grain and Oil Products [PDF]
Grain and oil products, the most basic materials for human survival, are subject to various factors such as temperature, moisture, oxygen and microorganisms, triggering a series of biochemical reactions which can cause the generation of off-flavors such ...

OOPS, the Ontology for Odor Perceptual Space: from molecular composition to sensory attributes of odor objects [PDF]
When creating a flavor to elicit a specific odor object characterized by odor sensory attributes (OSA), expert perfumers or flavorists use mental combinations of odor qualities (OQ) such as Fruity, Green, Smoky.

Reciprocal relationships between sleep and smell
Despite major anatomical differences with other mammalian sensory systems, olfaction shares with those systems a modulation by sleep/wake states. Sleep modulates odor sensitivity and serves as an important regulator of both perceptual and associative ...

Olfactory Interfaces: Recent Trends and Challenges of E-Noses in Human–Computer Interaction
An electronic nose (e-nose) is an electronic device composed of one or more odor sensors, a microcontroller, electronic components, and software that acquire and analyze a gas or volatile organic compound (VOC) present in an environment.
