Cross-modal sensory correspondences between vision and audition have been well described, but those olfaction not. In Experiment 1, a method previously used to relate color names, mood line elements was replicated extended describe odors by color. Significant characterizations were found for all 20 test odors. Test-retest correlations showed color-odor be as stable nonodor measures after 2 years. 2, new subjects matched Munsell chips the Thirteen had characteristic hues; there significant...

Measures of emotional state, physical well‐being, performance, and room odor were obtained from subjects given the suggestion a pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral ambient ( n = 30 per condition). The hedonic quality feigned altered self‐reports pleasure, but not dominance arousal. Subjects pleasant reported more positive mood. number health symptoms differed as function odor. category corresponding to fewest was predominated by in condition, while unpleasant condition with greatest symptoms....

Abstract Background Human perception of the odour environment is highly variable. People vary both in their general olfactory acuity as well if and how they perceive specific odours. In recent years, it has been shown that genetic differences contribute to variability Odour also depends on other factors such age gender. Here we investigate influence these 66 structurally perceptually different odours a diverse subject population. Results We carried out large human psychophysics study 391...

We previously found that untrained subjects make nonrandom color matches to odors and the are stable over time (Gilbert, Martin, & Kemp, 1996). Here we investigate further aspects of cross-modal associations between vision olfaction: whether perceptual dimensions odor vary systemically with those vision. Subjects matched Munsell chips five presented at three concentrations; they also rated intensity. Significant negative correlations value perceived intensity were for odors. The results...

Experiments in cross-modal matching suggest that smells can be arranged by odor quality along the color dimensions of hue and lightness Here we report subjects readily adjust loudness-equalized pitch an auditory tone to match a stimulus The results allow odors sequence their pitch-equivalents matches appear based on perceptual features olfaction other than intensity or pleasantness may more accessible structured previously acknowledged.

The facial responses of seven female subjects were videotaped while they smelled six odors in each three experimental conditions (spontaneous, posing to real and imagined odors). Videotaping was covert the spontaneous condition overt posed conditions. Raters (N = 65) shown videotapes asked judge whether something unpleasant, neutral or pleasant. correct only 37% their judgements when not aware being observed. Raters' accuracy improved significantly (76% correct) correct). Faces made...

Rhinomanometric observations of nasal airway patency were obtained for each passage every 10 min throughout an uninterrupted 8-h session. The 49 airflow subjected to autocorrelation analysis, a statistical technique quantifying periodicities in temporal sequence observations. No significant found any the 16 subjects when autocorelation functions interpreted by conventional criteria. However, less stringent criteria applied, we suggestive evidence rhythmicity one (7 subjects) or both passages...

The smell of marijuana (Cannabis sativa L.) is interest to users, growers, plant breeders, law enforcement and, increasingly, state-licensed retail businesses. numerous varieties and strains Cannabis produce strikingly different scents but date there have been few, if any, attempts quantify these olfactory profiles directly. Using standard sensory evaluation techniques with untrained consumers we validated a preliminary lexicon for dried cannabis flower, characterized the aroma profile...

Virgin rodents exhibiting cycling estrus have traditionally been used for comparative studies of reproductive behavior. However occurs in other life-history contexts, some which differ from (CE) that (a) the female is disposed to behave both maternally and sexually (b) they result litter overlap (i.e., simultaneous gestation lactation two litters). In this report, these modes are examined, with emphasis on their evolutionary ecological implications. By means a literature search order...

Litter size and mammary number in the mammalian order Rodentia show a significant positive correlation. Mean litter is typically one-half of available mammaries, while maximum approximates number. Similar relationships are found families Muridae, Cricetidae, Sciuridae. The relationship to significantly different between arboreal terrestrial squirrels, hystricomorph nonhystricomorph rodents. Mammary may have operated as selective constraint on over evolutionary time.

Results of the National Geographic Smell Survey were used to investigate effects pregnancy on olfactory perception and odor-related behavior. The responses test odors survey questions 13,610 pregnant 277,228 nonpregnant U.S. women between 20 40 years age analyzed. In comparison women, rated their own sense smell lower, more often less pleasant smelling, classified as inedible, likely report odor-evoked memories, perfume cologne frequently. Differences in odor detection intensity rating did...

A series of experiments revealed that humans can use olfaction to discriminate closely related strains mice, differing genetically only at the major histocompatibility gene complex (H-2). In Experiment 1, subjects were asked distinguish between whole-body odors live mice. Experiments 2 and 3, odor source was mouse fecal pellets, in 4 5, urine.
