This study investigated eye-movement patterns during emotion perception for children with hearing aids and hearing children. Seventy-eight participants aged from 3 to 7 were asked to watch videos with a facial expression followed by an oral statement, and these two cues were either congruent or incongruent in emotional valence. Results showed that while hearing children paid more attention to t...

The speech perception ability reported from profoundly hearing-impaired persons using hearing aids or cochlear implants varies widely. A test battery was constructed that consisted of segmental and suprasegmental tasks and connected speech presented in three digerent modalities: visual (V), auditive (A) and audiovisual (AV). Two groups of patients participated. Fifeen subjects with a profound h...

In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework for solving the task of ‘Visual Dialog’. Solving requires reasoning and understanding visual modality, language common sense knowledge to answer. Various architectures have been proposed solve by variants multi-modal deep learning techniques that combine representations. However, believe it is crucial understand analyze sources uncertainty tas...

Objective measurements of visual acuity were determined with the Catford drum in 82 eyes of patients in our Low-Vision Clinic who typically suffered from visual loss due to macular disease. The results were compared with subjective measurements of visual acuity by the Snellen chart. The findings indicated a significant overestimation of Snellen visual acuities by the Catford drum in 90.2% of ey...

Introduction. Controversy exists over the optimum incision placement when performing ear surgery via the postauricular approach. Little is known about the impact of incision placement on future comfort in wearing audio or visual aids or the effect on the minor auricular muscles cut in the approach. Objective. (1) To establish patient satisfaction with their postauricular surgical incision, and ...

Collision-free teleoperation of robotic arms is a critical requirement on the International Space Station (ISS). Astronauts manually navigate robotic arms using video views and are hindered by factors such as limited fields of view, displaycontrol misalignments and poor depth perception. Augmented reality (AR) interfaces can be useful in mitigating many of these issues. An AR technique that syn...
