Improved sub-band JND model with textural decomposition and its application in perceptual image coding by Ming-kui ZHENG, Kai-xiong SU, Wei-xing WANG, Cheng-dong LAN, Xiu-zhi YANG

“…Considering the compatibility and the auxiliary information which would affect the encoding efficiency, the JND model was adjusted to the quantization process and re-moved more visual redundancy. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the JND threshold;compared with JPEG standard, the perceptual coding method can save more bit rate and does not need extra bit for auxil-iary information at the similar visual quality. …”

An Investigation of the Efficiency of Sensory Systems Involved in Postural Control in Deaf Athletes and Non-Athletes by Mohammadreza Seyedi, Foad Seidi, عباس رحیمی, Hooman Minoonejad

“…For this purpose, 30 adolescents aged between 15 and 20 with congenital severe deafness were assigned to athlete and non-athlete groups (mean age 18.08+1.17 yr, height 173.04+6.82 cm and weight 59.41+7.47 kg) by purposive sampling method. A Biodex stabilometer was used to measure the postural control of the subjects in four different sensory conditions to find out the shares of visual, vestibular and somatic systems and the efficiency of each sensory system was calculated by Nashner formula. …”

I Got Rhythm and Executive Function, Memory, and More: The Automated Test of Embodied Cognition (ATEC) by Morris D. Bell, Yarani Gonzalez, Andrea J. Weinstein, David Ciosek, Yan Wang, Gihyun Yoon

“…<b>Discussion</b>: ATEC Rhythm was found to have discriminant and concurrent validity with EF measures and was significantly correlated with measures of story memory and visual memory, but not verbal list-learning. We speculate on rhythm’s relationship to story narrative and visual sequencing, and on rhythm’s relationship to cognitive reserve, as represented by education and the pre-morbid IQ estimate. …”
