This blog is dedicated to all those enthusiasts, young and old, interested in sharing thoughts, ideas, theories and solutions on topics of interest to ScentLogix™. It is intended to be collegial in nature and a meeting point for enthusiasts, those in academia, industry and government to interact, discuss topics and applications, and build collaborations and partnerships.

Current topics of interest include:

• The search-and-detect training of canines, and other creatures such as sharks and bees in the detection of drugs, explosives, money, molds and other substances;

• The use of parent and surrogate scents in both biological and electronic detection;

• Aspects of behavioral psychology relating to the search-and-detect training of biological creatures; advances in structure odor relationships and the chemistry of scent formulation;

• Advances on olfaction science, particularly in the physical and chemical interactions of gaseous compounds with mammalian and non-mammalian olfactory processes;

• Statistical and computing concepts that will simplify or mimic the differentiative capacity of biological olfactory organs;

• The implementation of lessons learnt in biological olfaction towards the development of logic suitable for the mimicking of the discriminatory capacity of biological olfaction.
