Assessment of human emotional reactions to visual stimuli "deep-dreamed" by artificial neural networks.

Introduction: While the fact that visual stimuli synthesized by Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) may evoke emotional reactions is documented, the precise mechanisms that connect the strength and type of such reactions with the ways of how ANNs are used to synthesize visual stimuli are yet to be discovered. Understanding these mechanisms allows for designing methods that synthesize images attenuating or enhancing selected emotional states, which may provide unobtrusive and widely-applicable treatment of mental dysfunctions and disorders.
Methods: The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a type of ANN used in computer vision tasks which models the ways humans solve visual tasks, was applied to synthesize ("dream" or "hallucinate") images with no semantic content to maximize activations of neurons in precisely-selected layers in the CNN.

ConspectusLight-driven polymerizations and their application in 3D printing have revolutionized manufacturing across diverse sectors, from healthcare to fine arts. Despite the popularized notion that with 3D printing "imagination is the only limit", we and others in the scientific community have identified fundamental hurdles that restrict our capabilities in this space. Herein, we describe the group's efforts in developing photochemical systems that respond to nontraditional colors of light to elicit the rapid, spatiotemporally controlled formation of plastics.

Dream is a mental activity that occurs during sleep. Its interpretation is common practice in many African cultures and this role is vested in unqualified persons, such as diviners, priests, and healers. Their unprofessional activities have led to dangerous consequences, such as anxiety, depression, loss of material possessions, bodily harm, family, or community conflicts, or even death.

Article Synopsis
- Purpose of the study was to explore how Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) can help reduce anxiety and distress in cancer patients during chemotherapy, emphasizing the role of nurses who administer the treatment.
- The review was conducted by searching various databases following PRISMA guidelines, resulting in 23 relevant studies being analyzed.
- The findings showed that IVR effectively distracted patients, leading to lower anxiety and distress, which ultimately improved the nursing care process and patient adherence to treatment.
