Abstract
An access system has a scanner that scans a unique identifier to access a location. A display receives an input. An automated dispenser dispenses at least one scent on each hand of an individual responsive to a control signal. A processor controls access to the location. A memory stores a set of instructions that configures the processor to receive the unique identifier from the scanner, actuate the automated dispenser to dispense the at least one scent responsive to receipt of the unique identifier, receive the response input based on the scents detected by the individual of the at least one scent, determine a passing result or a failing result responsive to the received response input and an expected response based on the dispensed at least one scent, enable access to the location responsive to a passing result and deny access to the controlled access location responsive to a failing result.
