Edges derived from abrupt luminance changes in images carry essential information for object recognition. Typical binary edge images (black edges on white background or white edges on black background) have been used to represent features (edges and cusps) in scenes. However, the polarity of cusps and edges may contain important depth information (depth from shading) which is lost in the binary edge representation. This depth information may be restored, to some degree, using bipolar edges. We compared recognition rates of 16 binary edge images, or bipolar features, by 26 subjects. Object recognition rates were higher with bipolar edges and the improvement was significant in scenes with complex backgrounds.

Traditional tactile sensors are single-function, and it is difficult to meet the needs of applications in complex environments. This paper describes the development and applications of flexible tactile sensors with cilia based on magnetoelectric composites made of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) microparticles with a silver (Ag) nanoshell in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). These sensors adopt the inherent magnetism of NdFeB microparticles and the excellent conductivity of the Ag coating.

This paper proposes a new strategy for analysing and detecting abnormal passenger behavior and abnormal objects on buses. First, a library of abnormal passenger behaviors and objects on buses is established. Then, a new mask detection and abnormal object detection and analysis (MD-AODA) algorithm is proposed.

Proximity and tactile multiresponse sensing electronic skin enriches the perception dimension, which is of great significance in promoting the intelligence of electronic skin. However, achieving real-time visualization in sensors such as proximity and tactile feedback remains a challenge. A proximity and tactile sensor with visual function is designed, which can realize optical early warning and electrical recognition when the object is near, and optical display and electrical output when the object is in contact.

Rhythmic neural activity is considered essential for adaptively modulating responses in the visual system. In this opinion article we posit that visual brain rhythms also serve a key function in the representation and communication of visual contents. Collating a set of recent studies that used multivariate decoding methods on rhythmic brain signals, we highlight such rhythmic content representations in visual perception, imagery, and prediction.

Background And Purpose: Autophagy-lysosomal pathway dysfunction leads to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Dexmedetomidine (Dex) improves POCD, and we probed the effects of Dex on autophagy-lysosomal pathway dysfunction in a POCD model.
Experimental Approach: A POCD mouse model was established and intraperitoneally injected with Dex.
