Unsere fünf Sinne ermöglichen uns, unsere Umwelt wahrzunehmen und mit ihr zu interagieren. Längst sind wir daran gewöhnt, dass auch Technik Reize aus der Umgebung interpretieren kann: Fast jeder trägt heutzutage ein Smartphone mit sich, das unser Gesicht oder unsere Katze auf Fotos erkennt, auf Berührung: Ohne Riechen schmeckt unser Read more…
Materials innovations enable new technological capabilities and drive major societal advancements but typically require long and costly development cycles. Materials Genomics aims at realizing the transition to a new paradigm in materials development from a traditional “trial and error” mode to a “rationally designed experiments” mode. The key element of Read more…
I November 25, 2021, 1 p.m. I Olfaction is perhaps the most fundamental among senses in the animal kingdom. It plays a crucial role in almost all relevant aspects of life such as finding food and assessing its quality, locating mating partners, avoiding predators. Olfaction works where visual and auditory Read more…
by Marie-Elisabeth Lessman, Cagdas Guducu, Bergoi Ibarlucea, Thomas Hummel In many species, social communication and mate choice are influenced by olfactory cues associated with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). It has been reported that humans also respond to olfactory signals related to the human MHC-equivalent, the Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA)-System, Read more…
The Saxon newspaper reports about different COVID-related fundings, including a short note about our international workshop, where the “sniffing out” of COVID with electronic nose technology was discussed as well. Find the whole article here.
by Antonie Louise Bierling ,Ilona Croy, Thomas Hummel, Gianaurelio Cuniberti and Alexander Croy A growing body of research aims at solving what is often referred to as the stimulus-percept problem in olfactory perception. Although computational efforts have made it possible to predict perceptual impressions from the physicochemical space of odors, studies with large psychophysical datasets from non-experts Read more…
