The Effect of Stimulus Duration on the Nostril Localization of Eucalyptol
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The trigeminal system is a chemosensory system participating in the perception of most odorants, which allows for the perception of diverse sensations including the freshness of eucalyptus or the spiciness of pepper. The lateralization task, that is, the identification of the stimulated nostril in a monorhinal stimulation paradigm is only possible following trigeminal stimulation and allows therefore for the assessment of the trigeminal sensitivity also in a clinical setting. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of the duration of stimuli on the lateralization task. To this end, we asked 32 young and healthy subjects perform the lateralization task while being exposed to eucalyptol stimuli ranging between 100 and 1250 ms. We found that participants performed on average at chance for stimuli shorter than 500 ms, and observed increasing accuracy for stimuli with longer durations. In conclusion, these data suggest that 500 ms represents a threshold for the lateralization of eucalyptol stimuli. Therefore, when trigeminal sensitivity is tested in a clinical setting, eucalyptol stimuli should have a duration of at least 500 ms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
