When the eyes have it and when not: How multiple sources of activation combine to guide eye movements during multiattribute decision making.

Memory plays a major but underexplored role in judgment and decision making (JDM). Studying eye movements-especially how people look at empty spatial locations when retrieving from memory information previously associated with those locations-provides useful information about how memory influences JDM. This so-called looking-at-nothing behavior is thought to reflect memory-driven allocation of attention.

The relevance of rock shape over mass-implications for rockfall hazard assessments.

The mitigation of rapid mass movements involves a subtle interplay between field surveys, numerical modelling, and experience. Hazard engineers rely on a combination of best practices and, if available, historical facts as a vital prerequisite in establishing reproducible and accurate hazard zoning. Full-scale field tests have been performed to reinforce the physical understanding of debris flows and snow avalanches.

Towards Edge-Aware Spatio-Temporal Filtering in Real-Time.

Spatio-temporal edge-aware (STEA) filtering methods have recently received increased attention due to their ability to efficiently solve or approximate important image-domain problems in a temporally consistent manner - which is a crucial property for video-processing applications. However, existing STEA methods are currently unsuited for real-time, embedded stream-processing settings due to their high processing latency, large memory, and bandwidth requirements, and the need for accurate optical flow to enable filtering along motion paths. To this end, we propose an efficient STEA filtering pipeline based on the recently proposed permeability filter (PF), which offers high quality and halo reduction capabilities.

Reliability of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring using motor evoked potentials during resection of metastases in motor-eloquent brain regions: clinical article.

Object: Resection of gliomas in or adjacent to the motor system is widely performed using intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM). For resection of cerebral metastases in motor-eloquent regions, however, data are sparse and IOM in such cases is not yet widely described. Since recent studies have shown that cerebral metastases infiltrate surrounding brain tissue, this study was undertaken to assess the value and influence of IOM during resection of supratentorial metastases in motor-eloquent regions.
