Amphibian water to land transition reveals physical limits of olfaction
Martin James, Loranzie S. Rogers, Moreira Salsman +3
The evolutionary transition from water to land required animals to sense and respond to drastically different environments. Chemicals diffuse four orders of magnitude more slowly i…

Noise enhances odor source localization
Francesco Marcolli, Martin James, Agnese Seminara
We address the problem of inferring the location of a target that releases odor in the presence of turbulence. Input for the inference is provided by many sensors scattered within…

Q-learning with temporal memory to navigate turbulence
Marco Rando, Martin James, Alessandro Verri +2
We consider the problem of olfactory searches in a turbulent environment. We focus on agents that respond solely to odor stimuli, with no access to spatial perception nor prior inf…
