U.S., Feb. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07386236) titled 'Electrophysiological Representations of Odor Identity Study 2' on Jan. 27.
Brief Summary: To identify a neural representation of odor identity, it is necessary to dissociate molecular structure from perceptual identity/similarity.
Whether the olfactory system employs a coding scheme in which the similarity between neural features is systematically related to perceptual similarity is unknown. Experiments for this aim will acquire perceptual responses while manipulating perceptual similarity. In Experiment 1A, we will examine features of neural responses during natural behavior of freely naming odors. In Experiment 1B, we will manipul...
