The electronic nose is far more

Leaving aside these facts for the
moment, let us compare the two models, to
once again reveal the superiority of creation in the human nose:
1) Electronic noses are able to detect only a limited number of odors,
rather than the thousands that the human nose can.
2) Computer-supported electronic noses are much larger compared
to the human nose and are delicate devices, requiring intense care and
maintenance. Moreover, the short lives of sensors represent another ma-
jor problem. 112 Our scent-perception system, on the other hand, never re-
quires any maintenance during a lifetime of operation.
3) The cost of a single electronic nose can be as much as $100,000. 113
4) In the human nose, the scent-perception process is completed in as
little as less than a second. Analysis lasts for minutes in the electronic
counterpart, however. 114
5) Adjustment of the sensors and programming the computers to
