Spatio-temporal frequency characteristics of the optomotor response in zebrafish
نویسندگان
چکیده
The optomotor response (OMR) is a simple experimental paradigm that is widely used in the study of visual system functions. In the current paper we investigated how spatial and temporal properties of repetitive stimuli determine the OMR in zebrafish. The experiments showed that the OMR has the temporal characteristic of a low-pass filter when the spatial frequencies are low and of a band-pass filter when the spatial frequencies are high. These findings are discussed on the basis of inherent sampling constraints of any motion detector. We found some indications that the strength and direction of the OMR vary with the spatio-temporal frequency of the stimulus pattern as has previously been described for other species.

Spatio-Temporal Parameters' Changes in Gait of Male Elderly Subjects
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare spatio-temporal gait parameters between elderly and young male subjects. Methods & Materials: 57 able-bodied elderly (72±5.5 years) and 57 healthy young (25±8.5 years) subjects participated in this study. A four segment model consist of trunk, hip, shank, and foot with 10 reflective markers were used to define lower limbs. Kinematic data c...
متن کاملA New Wavelet Based Spatio-temporal Method for Magnification of Subtle Motions in Video
Video magnification is a computational procedure to reveal subtle variations during video frames that are invisible to the naked eye. A new spatio-temporal method which makes use of connectivity based mapping of the wavelet sub-bands is introduced here for exaggerating of small motions during video frames. In this method, firstly the wavelet transformed frames are mapped to connectivity space a...

Using a semi-balloon otter trawl, crab fisheries in the main bays of Guangdong Province, China, were carried out seasonally . A total of 70 species were found, all belonging to the South China Sea Faunal sub region in the tropical India-West-Pacific Faunal Region. The clustering and nMDS ordination analysis revealed the existence of three groups. Group 1 included Hailing Bay and four bays to ...
