Masking Effects on Iso-valeric Acid Recognition by Sub-threshold Odor Mixture
In this study, we employed Sniff Olfactometry (SO) to investigate the psychophysics of masking using brief 70ms stimulations with mixtures of the mal-odorant iso-valeric Acid (IVA) and different masking agents. IVA is a component of human sweat that can overpower its smell and is often associated with unpleasant descriptors such as "gym locker," "smelly feet," "dirty clothes," and so on. Traditionally, high concentrations of pleasant-smelling odorants are used to mitigate the unpleasantness of IVA in situations involving clothing or environments contaminated with IVA. To examine the masking effects of sub-threshold levels ...

Unraveling the Universality of Chemical Fear Communication: Evidence from Behavioral, Genetic, and Chemical Analyses
In this study, we aimed to investigate whether threat-related information can be transmitted by individuals of East Asian descent who carry a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 538G → A in the ABCC11 gene, which significantly reduces (noticeable) body odor. To examine this, we recruited 18 self-identified male East Asian AA-homozygotes and 18 self-identified male Western individuals who were carriers of the functional G-allele. We collected samples of their fear-related and neutral body odors. Subsequently, we conducted a double-blind behavioral experiment in which we presented these samples to 69 self-identified femal...
