Abstract

We revisit several definitions and concepts related to distances; then, we propose the concept of proto-distance and of discrimination function, in view to better model sensorial discrimination and recognition processes. Applications to medicine, including pedometry, hearing, speech clues, and diagnosis in these fields are briefly discussed.
