Abstract

Like all mammals, humans use chemosignals. Nevertheless, only few such chemosignals have been identified. Here we describe an experimental arrangement that casts a wide net for the possible chemosignaling functions of target molecules. This experimental arrangement can be used in concert with various methods for measuring the human behavioral and brain responses, including psychophysiology and brain imaging. Moreover, many of the methodological issues we describe are relevant to any study with human chemosignals.

摘要

与所有哺乳动物一样，人类也会使用化学信号。然而，目前仅识别出少数此类化学信号。在此，我们描述了一种实验装置，该装置可广泛探寻目标分子可能的化学信号功能。这种实验装置可与多种测量人类行为和大脑反应的方法协同使用，包括心理生理学和脑成像。此外，我们所描述的许多方法学问题适用于任何有关人类化学信号的研究。
