Outline of Final Research Achievements

In our research, we have aimed to establish fundamental technology of measuring activity of man's olfactory bulb to sense smell ingredients. Fist of all, we have made a computer model of a frontal bone and the olfactory bulb organization to simulate light way of near-infrated light emitted from outside to the olfactory bulb using Monte Carlo method. We have clarified the strength of the light and the angle and got knowledge. All together, we have made an experiment to coincide with the simulation results. We have established the basic technology of sensing activity of an olfactory.
