Visual Feedback System for Neuroanatomy

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a visual feedback system for a neuroanatomy. The stereoscopic microscope image of the dentate gyrus of adult rat brain in the neuroanatomy is converted into a black and white image. By the region segmentation, the region of the dentate gyrus is extracted. A binary image is obtained from a microscopic photo of cresyl violet-stained coronal section of the rat brain as a template. By the template matching, the apex of the dentate gyrus is automatically detected. The visual feedback system consists of a stereoscopic microscope, a micromanipulator, two CCD cameras and a personal computer. According to the stereo vision method, the distance between the dentate gyrus and the tip of microelectrode is three dimensionally measured based on the position difference between the left and the right image. Following an insertion of the tip of microelectrode to the dentate gyrus, the lypophilic fluorescent tracer is slowly injected by a nanoinjector. As a result, the glass microelectrode can be guided to pierces the apex of the dentate gyrus in desired depth.

Gait rehabilitation systems provide patients with guidance and feedback that assist them to better perform the rehabilitation tasks. Real-time feedback can guide users to correct their movements. Research has shown that the quality of feedback is crucial to enhance motor learning in physical rehabilitation. Common feedback systems based on virtual reality present interactive feedback in a monit...
متن کاملImpact of Use of Audio-Visual Aid on Dissection Hall Teaching
Dissection hall teaching, which is a backbone of teaching and learning Anatomy, is suffering a lot due to dearth of faculty members as MCI has reduced the number of teachers required per hundred students. In lack of proper guidance and clear instructions students are gradually losing interest in dissection, therefore we thought of using audio-visual aid as an adjunct for Dissection hall teachin...

Our visual system is one of the great success stories of evolution. Together with the other sensory systems, its purpose is to provide information about the world so that we can operate within a changing environment to fulfill our goals. The representations that our visual system creates of events and objects within a 3D scene are so accurate and produced so quickly, that most of us operate und...

-An artificial network is described that can learn, recognize, and generate higher-order temporalspatial sequences. It consists of three parts: (1) comparator units, (2) a parallel array of artificial neural networks that are derived from the visual-vestibular networks of the snail Hermissenda. as well as hippocampal neuroanatomy, and (3) delayed feedback lines from the output of the system to ...
متن کاملThe architecture of visual cortex and inferential processes in vision.
This paper is organised approximately into two halves. In the first half, I review evidence about the structure of the visual system, and I use that evidence to frame what I think are widely held but often implicit ideas about how it works, namely that vision is principally analysis of retinal input. These ideas have been strongly influenced by engineering approaches; form a default view of the...
