Decomposition of a mixture of signals in a model of the olfactory bulb.

RESUMO
We describe models for the olfactory bulb which perform separation and decomposition of mixed odor inputs from different sources. The odors are unknown to the system; hence this is an analog and extension of the engineering problem of blind separation of signals. The separation process makes use of the different temporal fluctuations of the input odors which occur under natural conditions. We discuss two possibilities, one relying on a specific architecture connecting modules with the same sensory inputs and the other assuming that the modules (e.g., glomeruli) have different receptive fields in odor space. We compare the implications of these models for the testing of mixed odors from a single source.
