Integration and Testing of e-nose like Device to Mimic the Human Olfactory Systems.

Brief Description of Project

The goal of this project is to develop an innovative electronic nose to mimic the process of human olfaction. The expression “electronic sensing” refers to the capability of reproducing human senses using sensor arrays and pattern recognition systems. The stages of the recognition process are similar to human olfaction and are performed for identification, comparison, quantification and other applications, including data storage and retrieval. Further objectives of this project cover real-time data acquisition for human olfaction using MOS type gas sensors in the electronic nose, classification of odorants using pattern recognition techniques and decoding of human olfactory pathway using system biology approach.
