The Influence of Odorants on Respiratory Patterns in Sleep (2010)
Arzi, Anat, Sela, Lee, Green, Amit, Givaty, Gili, Dagan, Yaron, Sobel, Noam
To assess the feasibility of using odors as a potential mechanism for treating sleep apnea, we set out to test the hypothesis that odorants delivered during sleep would modify respiratory patterns...
Predicting the Receptive Range of Olfactory (2009)
Rafi Haddad, Liran Carmel, Noam Sobel, David Harel
Although the family of genes encoding for olfactory receptors was identified more than 15 years ago, the difficulty of functionally expressing these receptors in an heterologous system has, with only...
A metric for odorant comparison (2009)
Rafi Haddad, Rehan Khan, Yuji K Takahashi, Kensaku Mori, David Harel, Noam Sobel
In studies of vision and audition, stimuli can be systematically varied by wavelength and frequency, respectively, but there is no equivalent metric for olfaction. Restricted odorant-feature metrics...

Prediction Models for the Pleasantness of Binary Mixtures in Olfaction (2008)
Hadas Lapid, David Harel, Noam Sobel
Whereas the rules underlying the perceived intensity of binary mixtures have been investigated, minimal efforts have been directed at elucidating the rules underlying the perceived pleasantness of...

Male Behavior by Knockout (2007)
A recent paper published by Kimchi, Xu, and Dulac in Nature describes the emergence of male−type sexual behavior in female mice following incapacitation of the accessory olfactory system. The...
The Sniff Is Part of the Olfactory Percept (2006)
In this review, we use data obtained primarily from humans to argue that sniffs are not merely a stimulus carrier but are rather a central component of the olfactory percept. We argue that sniffs 1)...
A Comparison of Methods for Sniff Measurement Concurrent with Olfactory Tasks in Humans (2006)
Johnson, Bradley N., Russell, Cheryl, Khan, Rehan M., Sobel, Noam
There is a growing appreciation for the role of sniffing in the formation of the olfactory percept. With this in mind, monitoring and measurement of sniffing is an important aspect of olfactory...

The Prevalence of Androstenone Anosmia (2003)
Bremner, Elizabeth A., Mainland, Joel D., Khan, Rehan M., Sobel, Noam
It has been estimated that ∼30% of the population is unable to detect the odor of androstenone. These estimates, however, were made using tests and criteria optimized for identifying detection....
Olfactory plasticity: One nostril knows what the other learns (2002)

Sniffing Longer rather than Stronger to Maintain Olfactory Detection Threshold (2000)
Sobel, Noam, Khan, Rehan M., Hartley, Catherine A., Sullivan, Edith V., Gabrieli, John D.E.
Air flow-rate is usually higher in one nostril in comparison to the other. Also, within bounds, higher nasal flow-rate improves odorant detection. It follows from the above that odorant detection...
Blind smell: brain activation induced by an undetected air-borne chemical (1999)
Sobel, Noam, Prabhakaran, Vivek, Hartley, Catherine A., Desmond, John E., Glover, Gary H., Sullivan, Edith V., ...
EEG and behavioural evidence suggests that air-borne chemicals can affect the nervous system without being consciously detected. EEG and behaviour, however, do not specify which brain structures are...
An impairment in sniffing contributes to the olfactory impairment in Parkinson's disease
Sobel, Noam, Thomason, Moriah E., Stappen, Iris, Tanner, Caroline M., Tetrud, James W., Bower, James M., ...
Although the presence of an olfactory impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been recognized for 25 years, its cause remains unclear. Here we suggest a contributing factor to this impairment,...

Predicting Odor Pleasantness with an Electronic Nose
Haddad, Rafi, Medhanie, Abebe, Roth, Yehudah, Harel, David, Sobel, Noam
A primary goal for artificial nose (eNose) technology is to report perceptual qualities of novel odors. Currently, however, eNoses primarily detect and discriminate between odorants they previously...
