Simple Configuration Effects on Eye Movements in Horizontal Scanning Tasks by Ilze Laicane, Jurgis Skilters, Ivars Lacis

“…Past studies using strings of letters rather than meaningful text ('z-reading') suggest that eye movement control during reading is, to a large extent, controlled by low-level image properties. These studies, however, have failed to take into account perceptual grouping processes that could drive these low-level effects. …”

Mental chronometry in big noisy data. by Edmund Wascher, Fariba Sharifian, Marie Gutberlet, Daniel Schneider, Stephan Getzmann, Stefan Arnau

“…Especially in larger scale studies using a multitude of individual EEG-based tasks, the quality of latency measures often suffers from high and low frequency noise residuals due to the resulting low trial counts (because of compressed tasks) and because of the limited feasibility of visual inspection of the large-scale data. …”

Testing the role of spontaneous activity in visuospatial perception with patterned optogenetics. by Kengo Takahashi, Samuel Pontes Quero, Julien Fiorilli, Davide Benedetti, Rafael Yuste, Karl J Friston, Giulio Tononi, Cyriel M A Pennartz, Umberto Olcese, TWCF: INTREPID Consortium

“…The experiment will directly test if optogenetic inactivation of a portion of the visual cortex not responding to behaviorally relevant stimuli will affect the perception of the spatial distribution of these stimuli, even when the neurons being inactivated display no or very low spiking activity, so low that it does not induce a significant effect on other cortical areas. …”

“…We evaluated the efficacy and safety as well as the optimal dosage of L.E.M. extract for OIPN in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).MethodsAfter curative resection, we used a 1:1:1 ratio to randomly assign patients with CRC with persistent OIPN (defined by a visual analogue scale [VAS] numbness score ≥40 mm) to the low-dose (L.E.M. 300 mg twice daily [bid]), high-dose (L.E.M. 900 mg bid), and placebo groups. …”

A novel assessment system for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures by Weiqi Han, Zhibo Deng, Zhao Lin, Jun Luo, Jie Xu

“…The high-score group exhibited significantly inferior outcomes, characterized by higher Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores (P < 0.05), increased vertebral height loss, and kyphosis angle differences compared to the low and medium-score groups (P < 0.05). …”

Laser Acupuncture for the Pain of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials by Zeng DH, Yuan DN, Zhou QQ, Liu YY, Ma WB, Lan L

“…We used random effects models for all meta-analyses and the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of evidence.Results: We included 5 RCTs (293 participants, 57% females). Low certainty evidence suggested that laser acupuncture may have no or little effects on reducing pain intensity compared to exercise (weighted mean difference [WMD] − 0.84 cm on a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale [VAS], 95% CI − 1.12 to − 0.56 cm; laser acupuncture may reduce more pain intensity compared to placebo laser acupuncture (WMD − 2.33 cm, 95% CI − 3.57 to − 1.09 cm). …”

Contribution of displacement, duration, and velocity on auditory motion direction perception in macaque monkeys by Adriana M. Schoenhaut, Ramnarayan Ramachandran, Mark T. Wallace

“…These findings suggest that auditory motion direction is most likely processed by a snapshot mechanism, in which stimulus velocity is inferred by sequential snapshots of auditory stimulus location, rather than by velocity-selective motion detectors similar to those found in the visual system. To our knowledge, this study is the first to characterize the influence of low-level stimulus parameters on auditory motion perception in awake, behaving NHPs, and forms the basis for future neurophysiological investigations.…”

Large-Scale Image Retrieval of Tourist Attractions Based on Multiple Linear Regression Equations by Yinping Song

“…The BOF model is borrowed from the method for text retrieval, which generally extracts the local features of an image by the scale-invariant feature transform algorithm and clusters them using k-means to obtain a low-dimensional visual dictionary and characterizes the image features with a histogram vector based on the visual dictionary. …”

Evaluation of Cholinergic Deficiency in Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease Using Pupillometry by Shaun Frost, Liam Robinson, Christopher C. Rowe, David Ames, Colin L. Masters, Kevin Taddei, Stephanie R. Rainey-Smith, Ralph N. Martins, Yogesan Kanagasingam

“…Cortical cholinergic deficiency is prominent in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and published findings of diminished pupil flash response in AD suggest that this deficiency may extend to the visual cortical areas and anterior eye. Pupillometry is a low-cost, noninvasive technique that may be useful for monitoring cholinergic deficits which generally lead to memory and cognitive disorders. …”
