Constructing an olfactory perceptual space and predicting percepts from molecular structure
Abstract
Given the structure of a novel molecule, there is still no one who can reliably predict what odor percept that molecule will evoke. The challenge comes from both the difficulty in quantitatively characterizing molecular structure, and the inadequacy of language to fully characterize olfactory perception. Here, we present a novel approach to both problems.
