@icroy @rbrainengineer @obristmarianna @physorg_com I will carefully claim that these 21 parameters are not unique, rather they represent the chemical parameters relevant for perception. This was a choice of 21 out of ~4000 parameters, and was based on sn

Technicalities The odors we used throughout the experiment are multi-component mixtures (below) This metric extends one by Snitz et al. They used mixtures with equal-intensity components “lab-made”. Here, for the 1st time, intensity of components varied h
