Summary
It is widely recognized that further breakthroughs in science and technology may rely on multidisciplinary research efforts. Our challenge in bio-mimetic chemical sensing is to identify at all levels from the olfactory receptors to the central nervous system, what are the key ingredients to these impressive abilities. This research topic emanates from our own effort to bridge the anatomical and physiological data of the olfactory system, in particular in insects, to explain pattern recognition (Huerta et al, 2004; Nowotny et al, 2005; Huerta and Nowotny, 2009) and apply them to real problems with artificial sensor arrays and other applications (Muezzinoglu et al, 2008, 2009; Huerta et al, 2012).
