It has been suggested that uniform connectedness is the most fundamental factor in forming units of attentional selection, while there are evidences that attention can select a perceptual group that consists of separate elements with similar features. The present study examined the effects of connectedness and a boundary-feature similarity on early spatial-selection processes using a sustained-focal-attention paradigm of event-related potentials (ERPs). Bilateral stimuli were manipulated to have an orthogonal combination of connectedness (C-, C+) and a similarity in boundary feature (S-, S+). ERPs were recorded from 15 participants who were instructed to pay attention to the left or the right visual field and to respond to a target shape that appeared infrequently in the attended field. The ERP attention effect in the N1 latency range (125-185 ms) was decreased for stimuli with connectedness and/or boundary-feature similarity, and the effects of the two grouping factors were independent of each other. The present result suggests that multiple grouping factors, including connectedness, operate in parallel in early processes of object-based attention-spreading.

Article Synopsis
- Accurate segmentation of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment, but current methods struggle with varying vessel diameters and semantic detail.
- The introduction of the boundary information fusion network (BIF-Net) aims to improve AAA segmentation by enhancing boundary feature extraction through specialized convolutional kernels and additional modules for lost information recovery.
- BIF-Net outperforms existing methods, achieving higher accuracy rates on evaluating datasets, and shows promising potential for practical applications in AAA diagnosis and treatment planning.

The 2D echocardiography semantic automatic segmentation technique is important in clinical applications for cardiac function assessment and diagnosis of cardiac diseases. However, automatic segmentation of 2D echocardiograms also faces the problems of loss of image boundary information, loss of image localization information, and limitations in data acquisition and annotation. To address these issues, this paper proposes a semi-supervised echocardiography segmentation method.

Nucleus morphology is of great importance in conventional cancer pathological diagnosis, which could provide information difference between normal and abnormal nuclei visually. Therefore, this paper proposes two novel kinds of features for normal and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) nucleus recognition, including shape and boundary similarity. First, each individual nucleus patch with the fixed size is obtained using center-proliferation segmentation (CPS) method.

The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery, obtained from B-mode ultrasound images, has recently been proposed as one of the most useful indices of atherosclerosis and can also be used to predict major cardiovascular events. Ultrasonic measurements of the IMT are conventionally obtained by time-consuming manual tracing of the interfaces between tissue layers. We propose a computerized method to detect the boundary of the intima-media complex using a directional Haar-like filter that can account for the slope of the boundary in an image.
