A hybrid human sensory mimicking approach: an integrated e-nose and e-tongue system

Taste and smell are two of the five human senses that are common among mammalians. These two senses are usually used together to make up the brain’s perception of flavour. This has lead to the study of data fusion of multiple artificial sensory systems such as electronic nose and electronic tong...

A hybrid human sensory mimicking approach: an integrated e-nose and e-tongue system
description Taste and smell are two of the five human senses that are common among mammalians. These two senses are usually used together to make up the brain’s perception of flavour. This has lead to the study of data fusion of multiple artificial sensory systems such as electronic nose and electronic tongue.
