Mr Nathan Hall

Dr. Hall is an Assistant Professor of Companion Animal Science at Texas Tech University and the Director of the Canine Olfaction Research and Education Laboratory in the Department of Animal Science. Dr. Hall earned his PhD at the University of Florida, specializing in the study of Behavior Analysis and canine olfaction. As a post-doc, he continued his studies at Arizona State University investigating the optimization of training to enhance canine’s detection of Homemade Explosives. At Texas Tech, his work continues to explore canine olfactory perception and how experience influences odor perception. His lab also investigates predictors and correlates of problem behavior, behavioral predictors of working aptitude, and canine health. Throughout his career, Dr. Hall has published numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications and book chapters on canine olfaction and detection abilities.

Agenda

This webinar will cover a wide range of research studies and critically evaluate the current state of knowledge of detection science from the standpoint of peer-reviewed research. We will discuss the latest research on canine limits of detection and training methods to support optimal canine detection. At the end of the class, participants should expect to meet the following learning objectives

Learning Objectives

Describe the physiology of canine odor detection and how this is associated with detection performance.
Summarize recent research on canine limits of detection and implications for sensory perception.
Describe the challenges relating chemical properties to olfactory perception.
