The purpose of this study, which comprised 2 experiments, was to investigate cognitive effects on odor perception. An odor was presented using an olfactometer. In Experiment 1 (“continuous”...
Real K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involution and applications. II (2007)
Nikulin, Viacheslav V., Saito, Sachiko
We consider real forms of rational surfaces 𝔽m with Picard number 2. Connected components of moduli of real non-singular curves in | − 2𝔽m| have been classified recently by us for m = 0,...

Kobayashi, Masayoshi, Saito, Sachiko, Kobayakawa, Tatsu, Deguchi, Yuichi, Costanzo, Richard M.
A new olfactory test, the odor stick identification test for Japanese (OSIT-J), has been developed in Japan. To determine if the OSIT-J would be effective cross-culturally, we administered the test...
Development of a Smell Identification Test Using a Novel Stick-Type Odor Presentation Kit (2006)
Saito, Sachiko, Ayabe-Kanamura, Saho, Takashima, Yasuhiro, Gotow, Naomi, Naito, Naomi, Nozawa, Takashi, ...
The odor identification is strongly influenced by the social and cultural factors; therefore, the odorants used in a smell identification test should be familiar to the test population. In addition,...

Real K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involution and applications. II (2005)
Nikulin, Viacheslav V., Saito, Sachiko
We consider real forms of relatively minimal rational surfaces F_m. Connected components of moduli of real non-singular curves in |-2K_{F_m}| had been classified recently for m=0, 1, 4 in...
Real K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involution and applications (2005)
Nikulin, Viacheslav V., Saito, Sachiko
Classification of real K3 surfaces $X$ with non-symplectic involution $\tau$ is considered. We define a natural notion of degeneration for them. We show that the connected component of moduli of...
Laterality of Human Primary Gustatory Cortex Studied by MEG (2005)
Onoda, Keiko, Kobayakawa, Tatsu, Ikeda, Minoru, Saito, Sachiko, Kida, Akinori
We examined the laterality of the human gustatory neural pathway by measuring gustatory-evoked magnetic fields (GEMfs) and demonstrating the activation of the human primary gustatory cortex (PGC). In...
The Effect of Visual Images on Perception of Odors (2005)

Hashimoto, Yoshiteru, Fukazawa, Keijiro, Fujii, Megumi, Takayasu, Sadamu, Muto, Toshihiko, Saito, Sachiko, ...
The odor stick identification test (OSIT) is a new test of olfactory function recently developed for Japanese people. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate this test in relation to T&T...
Real K3 Surfaces with non-symplectic Involutions and Applications (2003)
Nikulin, Viacheslav V., Saito, Sachiko
Classification of real K3 surfaces X with a non-symplectic involution \tau is considered. For some exactly defined and one of the weakest possible type of degeneration (giving the very reach...
Gustatory Evoked Cortical Activity in Humans Studied by Simultaneous EEG and MEG Recording (2002)
Mizoguchi, Chie, Kobayakawa, Tatsu, Saito, Sachiko, Ogawa, Hisashi
Evoked potentials are widely used in clinical medicine for objective evaluation of sensory disturbances. However, gustatory evoked potentials (GEPs) have not been extensively studied due to lack of...
Olfactory Discrimination Ability for Aliphatic Odorants as a Function of Oxygen Moiety (2000)
Laska, Matthias, Ayabe-Kanamura, Saho, Hübener, Fabienne, Saito, Sachiko
We tested the ability of human subjects to distinguish between aliphatic odorants sharing the same number of carbon atoms but differing in their functional groups. 1-Alcohols, n-aldehydes, 2-ketones...
Kaneda, Hirotaka, Maeshima, Kozue, Goto, Naomi, Kobayakawa, Tatsu, Ayabe-Kanamura, Saho, Saito, Sachiko
It is important to learn about changes in both taste and odor perceptions with increasing age, because the taste of foods we encounter in our daily life is strongly affected by their smell. This...
