Abstract

A large scale chemical sensor array consisting of 16384 conducting polymer elements was developed emulating characteristics of the biological olfactory receptor system. A biologically realistic computational model of the olfactory cortex was developed and the data from the large array was used to test the performance of the system. Classification of odorants and segmentation of mixtures of were investigated and the results were compared to that from support vector machine algorithms.
