The proposal has been designed to explore a novel and holistic approach which will engage experts across the full spectrum of their skills-base, through a suite of short-term research activities that are linked in theme and approach, yet are highly adventurous and in areas highly speculative in nature, aiming to provide an effective means for better and non-invasive human monitoring for security applications. Prior studies have shown that human odours can provide relevant biological information about their 'sender' and a key target of this approach is the fusion of the analysis of this type of olfactory communication with associated physiological and behavioural indications. This shows advantages particularly when the other two major 'senses', i.e. the visual and acoustic, are functionally restricted, most frequently the case in security screening. The interdisciplinary approach proposed addresses the detection of human 'fear' - focusing on fear pheromone as a key physiological indicator and correlating the information with human abnormal behaviour. Although simple to describe in these terms, real success envisaged is only possible when factors across the spectrum from the chemical, physical, engineering to the social sciences and psychology are effectively integrated, rather than viewed in isolation. The work will target as an outcome being able to determine the viability and efficacy of such an integrated approach to the detection of these human alarm signals: applied in assessing the stress status of an individual and interpreting this in a security-critical context. The application domain will allow addressing the feasibility of novel methods based on this approach for the rapid and accurate identification of criminal or terrorist suspects in public areas, e.g. at airports, railway stations or approaching the London Olympics, with minimum disruption to routine operations.

该提案旨在探索一种新颖而整体的方法，该方法将通过一系列短期研究活动来吸引专家的全部技能基础，这些研究活动与主题和方法相关联，但在本质上是高度冒险的，并且在本质上是高度投机的领域，旨在为安全应用程序提供更好和非侵入性的人类监测。先前的研究表明，人类的气味可以提供有关其“发件人”的相关生物学信息，而这种方法的关键目标是分析这种类型的嗅觉交流与相关的生理和行为指示的分析。这表明了优势，尤其是当其他两个主要的“感官”（即视觉和声学）受到功能限制时，在安全筛选中最常见的情况。跨学科的方法提出的方法是针对人类“恐惧”的发现 - 专注于恐惧信息素作为关键的生理指标，并将信息与人类异常行为相关联。尽管用这些术语易于描述，但只有当从化学，物理，工程到社会科学和心理学的范围内的因素有效地整合，而不是孤立地观察到整个化学，物理，工程到社会科学和心理学的范围时，才可以设想真正的成功。这项工作将作为结果作为一个结果，以确定这种综合方法的生存能力和功效，以检测这些人类警报信号：应用于评估个人的压力状态并在安全至关重要的环境中解释这一点。该应用领域将允许基于这种方法来解决新方法的可行性，以快速准确地确定公共区域中的犯罪或恐怖嫌疑人，例如在机场，火车站或接近伦敦奥运会，对常规行动的干扰最少。
