The content of visual working memory (VWM) affects the processing of concurrent visual input. Recently, it has been demonstrated that stimuli are released from interocular suppression faster when they match rather than mismatch a color that is memorized for subsequent recall. In order to investigate the nature of the interaction between visual representations elicited by VWM and visual representations elicited by retinal input, we modeled the perceptual processes leading up to this difference in suppression durations.

Objectives: To compare the use of hook and screw fixation methods for posterior thoracic surgery in a study supplemented by a digital analysis using the finite-element method.
Summary Of Background Data: The maximum break strength of pedicular screws on bone has already been studied several times.

Purpose Of The Study: The purpose of this experimental study was to compare posterior fixation systems using hooks and screws implanted in the thoracic spine. This study was completed by a digital analysis using the finished element method.
Material And Methods: For the experimental study, we used 7 human thoracic spines.
