What does the dog’s nose know?
Dogs’ superior olfactory capabilities are well known and deployed worldwide for the detection of a variety of chemicals. The science of canine olfaction, however, has not kept paced with the applications of detection dogs. In my talk, we will go on a whirlwind tour of the scientific literature on canine olfaction. I will briefly highlight which hypotheses have empirical support and which do not. For example, what does the scientific literature say about which breed is best, or how sensitive the dog’s nose is compared to humans? I will also discuss some of my ongoing research and will highlight what I think remains to be studied.
