METHODS FOR THE USE OF NEURAL ACTIVITY PATTERNS FROM THE OLFACTORY SYSTEM OF SERVICE ANIMALS FOR MONITORING OF HEALTH STATES OF LIVING ORGANISMS AND DISEASE BIOMARKER IDENTIFICATION

A method of identification of an odorprint of a health state of a living organism can include monitoring the composition of volatile compounds emitted by the organism using the olfactory system of the service animal equipped with the brain machine interface. The method can include finding the specific signature of the bio-electronic nose signal responsible for identification of a volatile compound odorprint of a health state of an organism. The method can include applying machine learning techniques to multi-component bio-electronic nose signals. The method can include identifying specific volatile compounds or their ratios carrying information about a health state of an organism.
