When a single object lies in front of or beyond the plane of fixation its retinal image lies on disparate positions in the two eyes. This 'local' retinal disparity is an excellent cue to depth, and retinal disparties of a few seconds of arc are detectable by people and monkeys. However, most visual scenes produce a complex array of contours in each eye and we can detect the disparity in the arrays despite the ambiguous nature of the disparities, i.e. each contour in one eye could be related to any of several similar contours in the other eye. This ability, known as 'global' stereopsis, may be selectively impaired following brain damage in man. Global stereopsis was measured in rhesus monkeys before and after removing a different cortical visual area in different groups of animals. Only removal of the inferotemporal cortex impaired global stereopsis. The result is related to the findings with human patients and to receptive field properties of neurons in the inferotemporal cortex of monkeys.

Residual Vision Transformer and Adaptive Fusion Autoencoders for Monocular Depth Estimation.
Sensors (Basel)
December 2024
Institute of Computer and Communication Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 701, Taiwan.
Precision depth estimation plays a key role in many applications, including 3D scene reconstruction, virtual reality, autonomous driving and human-computer interaction. Through recent advancements in deep learning technologies, monocular depth estimation, with its simplicity, has surpassed the traditional stereo camera systems, bringing new possibilities in 3D sensing. In this paper, by using a single camera, we propose an end-to-end supervised monocular depth estimation autoencoder, which contains an encoder with a structure with a mixed convolution neural network and vision transformers and an effective adaptive fusion decoder to obtain high-precision depth maps.

Background: Cause-of-death (CoD) information is crucial for health policy formulation, planning, and program implementation. Verbal Autopsy (VA) is an approach employed for the collection and analysis of CoD estimates at the population level where medical certification of cause of death is low and, secondly, for integrating it with the existing public health system by utilizing the grassroots level workforce.
Objective: The study aims to understand the field perspectives on implementing the 2022 WHO VA instrument in rural India through the existing public health system.
Gaps in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation for Blindness and Low Vision: The Imperative of Rehabilitation for Visual Disability.
Am J Phys Med Rehabil

From the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, RUSK Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Health, New York, New York (AG, MB, GH-F, AS, J-RR); Department of Biomedical Engineering, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, New York, New York (YHH, SR, J-RR); Rehabilitation Institute, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (HS); Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles, California (PR); and Department of Physical Therapy, New York University, New York, New York (SR).
Persons with blindness and low vision experience increased fall and injury risk beyond atypical biomechanics and balance impairments. Falling risk doubles with blindness, and more than triples with depth perception losses. Despite this, physical therapy focuses on musculoskeletal injuries postevent rather than taking a proactive and preventative approach for persons with blindness and low vision.

Objective: Globally, in 2022, 30,871 children were diagnosed with CNS-tumors. Many have been treated with radiotherapy, and a significant number suffer from chronic late effects, including fatigue. This study aims to investigate previous research on the impact of cancer-related fatigue for neurocognitive function that can be related to radiotherapy in patients who have undergone primary brain radiotherapy before the age of 18.

Background: Globally, 10% of pregnant women and 13% of postpartum women experience mental disorders. In Bangladesh, nearly 50% of mothers face common mental disorders, but mental health services and trained professionals to serve their needs are scarce. To address this, the government of Bangladesh's Non-Communicable Disease Control program initiated "Wellbeing Centers," telemental health services in selected public hospitals.
