The construction of a programmable olfactometer [PDF]
Behavior Research Methods & Instrumentation, 1970 A new type of multichannel olfactometer is described, and the results are given for gas chromatographical standardization of this equipment. The olfactometer keeps 24 odorous substances available for presentation, consecutively, two per trial, or combinations of the two.

Alleviation of physiological stress response by apple aroma
Australian Journal of PsychologyObjective The study evaluated the potential of apple aroma to alleviate physiological stress response induced by a short-term cognitive stressor. It investigated the effects of apple aroma on cardiac and peripheral autonomic nervous system activity under

European Journal of Entomology, 2000 The olfactory orientation of the aphidophagous ladybird Coccinella septempunctata L. was assessed in a Y-tube olfactometer and a choice arena. The response of the predator to 22 plants, aphid prey and conspecifics was tested.

Statistical Inference for Olfactometer Data
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C: Applied Statistics, 2007 SummaryOlfactometer experiments are used to determine the effect of odours on the behaviour of organisms such as insects or nematodes, and typically result in data comprising many groups of small overdispersed counts. We develop a non-homogeneous Markov chain model for data from olfactometer experiments with parasitoid wasps and discuss a relation with

An olfactometer for small rodents [PDF]
Behavior Research Methods, Instruments, & Computers, 1984 An olfactometer that captures and delivers biological odors at experimenter-controlled times, without dilution, is described. The apparatus is quiet, efficient, versatile, animal-safe, and fairly inexpensive. Tests indicate that the device is successful in isolating transitory odors.

Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect
Insect Science, EarlyView.Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.

Relationship between the Korean Version of the Sniffin' Stick Test and the T&T Olfactometer in the Korean Population [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2011 ObjectivesThe Korean version of the Sniffin' stick (KVSS) test is widely used in Korea to evaluate olfactory function. However, its validity and reliability have not been studied well.
