Veissière et al. must sacrifice explanatory realism and precision in order to develop a unified formal model. Drawing on examples from cognitive archeology, we argue that this makes it difficult for them to derive the kinds of testable predictions that would allow them to resolve debates over the nature of human social cognition and cultural acquisition.

Contemporary research in 3D object detection for autonomous driving primarily focuses on identifying standard entities like vehicles and pedestrians. However, the need for large, precisely labelled datasets limits the detection of specialized and less common objects, such as Emergency Medical Service (EMS) and law enforcement vehicles. To address this, we leveraged the Car Learning to Act (CARLA) simulator to generate and fairly distribute rare EMS vehicles, automatically labelling these objects in 3D point cloud data.

Integrating augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) into dental surgery education and practice has significantly advanced the precision and interactivity of dental training and patient care. This narrative review summarizes findings from extensive literature searches conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase, highlighting AR and VR technologies transformative impact and current applications. Research shows that AR improves surgical precision by offering real-time data overlays during procedures, leading to better outcomes in operations like dental implant placements.

Multiplexed imaging technologies provide crucial insights into interactions between tumors and their surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME), but their widespread adoption is limited by cost, time, and tissue availability. We introduce HistoPlexer, a deep learning (DL) framework that generates spatially-resolved protein multiplexes directly from histopathology images. HistoPlexer employs the conditional generative adversarial networks with custom loss functions that mitigate slice-to-slice variations and preserve spatial protein correlations.

Rural healthcare provider shortages have a severe impact on Canadians who seek care in rural and remote (R&R) settings, often arriving with poor health or medical emergencies. Healthcare providers working in such settings often face significant challenges in accessing skills development and maintenance courses to meet the unique medical demands of rural communities. As a result, it is vital to provide R&R healthcare providers with the appropriate simulation-based skills training.

Background: Chronic pain presents a significant treatment challenge, often leading to frustration for both patients and therapists due to the limitations of traditional methods. Research has shown that synchronous visuo-tactile stimulation, as used in the rubber hand experiment, can induce a sense of ownership over a fake body part and reduces pain perception when ownership of the fake body part is reported. The effect of the rubber hand experiment can be extended to the full body, for example, during the full-body illusion, using both visuo-tactile and cardiovisual signals.
