All three techniques are used, although there has been some recent evidence to suggest an air-dilution system as being more reliable (Benjamin et al, 1965).

The Annual Review of Psychology has covered the topic several times, most recently in 1965 (4). The Annual Review of Psychology has covered the topic several times, most recently in 1965 (4).…”

Information processing from chemoreceptors

“…electrophysiologically, behaviorally, Because of the rapid rate of data collection in this field in recent years several excellent reviews have appeared (13,15,20,29,141,149,191,192,193,197,200). Several symposia have taken place that cover various aspects of cutaneous sensory functions and allied topics (37,78,102,103,108,159,194,196).…”
