Abstract
Describes the olfactoric technique, which consists of a new odorimetric method, which enables one to control, accurately and easily, the intensity of odoriferous stimuli. The duration of the sensation has been shown as a function of intensity of stimulus. The fundamental principle of the odorimetric method is simply that the number of molecules given off to the air by any substances increases with its temperature. At a given temperature, the number of molecules given off by an odorous substance in a closed space depends upon the vapor tension of the substance. The vapor tension increases with temperature. The olfactoric technique is based on these principles. Enumerates problems related to the sense of smell which can be studies using this technique.
