Topic Reading-Vol.1664-10/31/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Your dog smells you -- better than you think
You know that. But do you know much dogs can smell and how they and humans use the ability? Because dogs are extremely cooperative and responsive, they are used to search or detect smells that humans or machines can’t such as missing or buried person, explosives, drugs, insects, objects removed from certain animals.
Moreover, dogs seem to use their extraordinary sensitivity to smell time passing as the odor or smell fades away as time passes. For example, if the owner of a housedog keeps a regular schedule to go out and come home, the dog expects when the owner comes back. They can also detect changes in physical conditions of the owner, such as pregnancy or even cancer.
Isn’t it amazing?
Enjoy reading and thinking how useful it might be if dogs’ sensitivity is used in IoT and Ai.
