1. Survey existing methods for low-cost, rapid, and non-invasive screening of aflatoxin contamination in maize. 2. Survey current applications using narrow bandwidth filtering. 3. Identify two potential narrow bandwidth spectral bands for aflatoxin screening. 4. Develop feasible method to use the identified narrow bandwidth spectral bands and provide initial design of the AflaGoggles. 5. Prototype construction of the AflaGoggles and the development of screening procedures with the prototype. 6. Implement initial trials of the AflaGoggles to test their feasibility in a real world situation and also for continuous improvement of the screening procedures.
