Speed-Accuracy Tradeoff in Olfaction

Rinberg, Dmitry, Alex Koulakov, and Alan Gelperin developed a behavioral paradigm for mice in which both the duration of odorant sampling and the difficulty of the odor discrimination task were controlled. They observed that the accuracy of odor discrimination increases with the duration of imposed odorant sampling, and that the rate of this increase is slower for harder tasks.
