THE TONGUE as a surprising surrogate for seeing and hearing. View in LinkedIn

A BIONIC NOSE had been developed for smelling cancer in human breath, for security and pollution applications. Partial or complete taste and smell disorders occur in up to 5% of the population, which is more common than loss of sight or hearing.
