This paper describes three datasets which include 443 folders and approximately 4430 images. The images were obtained from the interior of a 1:50 scale model using a fisheye camera connected to a Raspberry Pi microcomputer. This dataset aims to analyze the photobiological effects (visual and non-visual) of the interplay between coloured surfaces and different types of lighting strategies. The experiments were conducted under three types of light sources: simulated daylight through a mirror-box artificial sky simulator, direct daylight, and an electric lighting system that allows for colour temperature modification. This dataset includes low dynamic range images to generate high dynamic range images, which in turn can be used to plot false colour maps concerning photopic luminance, melanopic luminance, CCT of an image, M/P ratio, and brightness distribution maps. This dataset can be useful for architects, interior designers, and building engineers to integrate lighting and colour strategies according to the visual and non-visual needs of the users. This research was partially used in the research of Espinoza-Sanhueza et al. [1,2]. The datasets are published and shared through a Mendeley repository [3].

Mate availability and social information can influence mating behaviour in both males and females. Social information obtained from conspecifics can influence mate choice, particularly shown by studies on mate choice copying. However, the role of directly observing conspecific mating on mating behaviour has been less explored.

This research introduces BAE-ViT, a specialized vision transformer model developed for bone age estimation (BAE). This model is designed to efficiently merge image and sex data, a capability not present in traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs). BAE-ViT employs a novel data fusion method to facilitate detailed interactions between visual and non-visual data by tokenizing non-visual information and concatenating all tokens (visual or non-visual) as the input to the model.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how visual stimuli on a virtual body affect human perception, focusing on the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms.
  • Fifteen participants experienced different visual conditions while undergoing thermal pain stimulation, with their brain activity being measured using electroencephalography (EEG).
  • Results showed that visual stimuli (like fire and water) influenced thermal perception, highlighting the insula's role in processing sensory information and its connection to attention and cognition.

Light profoundly impacts many aspects of human physiology and behaviour, including the synchronization of the circadian clock, the production of melatonin, and cognition. These effects of light, termed the non-visual effects of light, have been primarily investigated in laboratory settings, where light intensity, spectrum and timing can be carefully controlled to draw associations with physiological outcomes of interest. Recently, the increasing availability of wearable light loggers has opened the possibility of studying personal light exposure in free-living conditions where people engage in activities of daily living, yielding findings associating aspects of light exposure and health outcomes, supporting the importance of adequate light exposure at appropriate times for human health.

Beyond Lux: methods for species and photoreceptor-specific quantification of ambient light for mammals.

BMC Biol

Article Synopsis
  • Light plays a crucial role in regulating the physiology and behavior of mammals, and improper light exposure can lead to health issues due to disrupted circadian rhythms.
  • The study introduces a new method for measuring light using a photoreceptor-specific (α-opic) approach that accounts for variations across different mammalian species and their unique photoreceptor types.
  • Results show that α-opic measurements provide better predictions of physiological responses to light than the traditional lux measurements, potentially enhancing animal welfare, scientific research, agriculture, and energy efficiency.
