Recent technological advances have led to innovations like electronic noses and gas sensors, proficient in detecting distinct odors. Despite this, the field of AI and robotics has only marginally explored olfaction, a sense crucial for evoking emotions and memories. Our study investigates the correlation between gas sensor signals and EEG activity during odor recognition. By comparing our findings with questionnaire results, we suggest that individual experiences might influence odor recognition in the human brain. We designed an odor-dispensing system and recorded EEG responses from 15 subjects to six odors, alongside concentration data of four gases for each odor. These EEG and gas sensor data were analyzed using two neural networks for odor classification. Combining EEG and gas sensor data, we attained a 44% accuracy in 6-class odor discrimination, indicating the potential of this integrated approach as a unique 'odor fingerprint' for odor identification.

Electronic noses have been widely used in industrial production, food preservation, agricultural product storage, environmental monitoring, and other fields. However, due to the cross-sensitivity of gas-sensing responses, accurately measuring the concentration of mixed gases remains challenging. To address this issue, this study attempts to determine the number of state variables that produce the cross-influence based on the experimental data, establish the state space model from the equivalent circuit model, and obtain model parameters through parameter correlation iterative algorithms and a Kalman filter.

Numerous process gases are used in the production of semiconductor chips. Accurate metering of these gases into process chambers is critical for maximizing device throughput and yield. A national flow standard for semiconductor process gases does not exist, forcing the industry to rely on approximate "meter factors" to extrapolate a meter calibration carried out with nitrogen to the actual process gas.

Resistive type gas sensors based on wide-bandgap semiconductor oxides are remaining one of the principal players in environmental air monitoring. The rapid development of technology and the desire to miniaturize electronics require the creation of devices with minimal energy consumption. A promising solution may be the use of photoactivation, which can initiate/accelerate physico-chemical processes at the solid-gas interface and realize detection of flammable and explosive gases at close to room temperature.

Detection of the level of ammonia gas in exhaled breath provides non-invasive and fast diagnosis of kidney failure. Here, we fabricated room temperature and sensitive chemiresistive ammonia gas sensor by in situ electropolymerization and deposition of polypyrrole/sulfonated graphene oxide (PPy/SRGO) on/between gold interdigitated electrodes (Au-IDEs). The prepared sensors were characterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR).
