The present invention is related to cerebral blood flow velocity monitoring method and system, specifically a transcranial Doppler device for odor matching and odor selection in canine and human subjects. The method and system is non-invasive with high temporal resolution, user-friendly and portable, including steps of obtaining a subject's baseline mean blood flow velocity in cerebral arteries using transcranial Doppler instrument with sample volume focused on cerebral vessels on both sides using two probes placed on the temples and calculating laterality index for both arteries. Simultaneously, testing the subject with odors while monitoring mean blood flow velocity during each odor in real-time. The acquired data is processed using an operatively attached microprocessor and using a cellular telephone to communicate the results to a computer workstation for further data analysis and storage. |
