Description
Summary:This review of information processing in chemosensory systems follows the three inherent parts: sensors, the network following the sensors, and the coding in this network. The first steps of the process involve receptor cells and the olfactory bulb in biological systems, chemosensors and a neural network in artificial systems. Up to now, a review on the olfactory transduction mechanisms has been missing. Several chapters present such a review, complemented with the function and architecture of artificial chemosensors. The attempt is made to delineate the parallels between olfactory bulb in vertebrates, antennal lobe in insects, and artificial networks capable of extracting selectively odour information from an array of sensors.
