Abstract: An odorant mixture is disclosed. The odorant mixture comprises N odorant components wherein N equals at least 20. Each odorant component is characterized by a multidimensional vector of attributes. A z score of an average of characteristic distances between vectors corresponding to odorant components in the mixture and vectors corresponding to odorant components in a group of M odorant components but not in the mixture is less than 2.

Abstract: A method of monitoring social interactions among a plurality of model organisms. The method comprises marking each of a plurality of model organisms in a monitored space, divided to a plurality of spatial segments, with one of a plurality of unique visual markers, capturing a sequence of images of the plurality of unique visual markers, calculating at least one spatiotemporal model of at least one of the plurality of model organisms by identifying in which of the plurality of segments each unique visual marker is located during each of a plurality of temporal frames of a period, and outputting the at least one spatiotemporal model.
