Abstract
Use of stimuli in order to provide association with a training regime or other behavior modification technique is known. With regard to olfactory stimulation it will be appreciated that it is necessary that the olfactory is actively provided in the sense the it is not a continuous stimulation but provided in pulses for regular association. Without such distinct presentation of the olfactory stimulus a user may become desensitized. In order to achieve this the present olfactory stimulator comprises a regulator and specific delivery techniques such as the use of a fan or piston to direct the olfactory towards the user'"'"'s nose.

- 30. An olfactory stimulator for sustained behavior modification, the stimulator comprising a scent reservoir and a housing defining a flow path for directing an entrained scent flow, the flow path including regulation means to regulate the entrained scent flow and controlled to allow specific entrained scent flow for pre-determined time periods for association with a behavior modification step, the scent reservoir within the stimulator arranged to be substantially configured only to allow scent release to the flow path to inhibit environmental scent leakage.
