Current methods for manual evaluation of surgical skill yield a global score for the entire task. The global score does not inform surgical trainees about where in the task they need to improve. We developed and evaluated a framework to automatically generate an objective score for assessing skill in maneuvers (circumscribed segments) within a surgical task. We used an existing video and kinema...

In this paper we show how Allen’s temporal logic, with the modifications suggested byGalton to enable it to accommodate continuityphenomena, can be combined with the spatial logic of Randall, Cui and Cohn to yield a useful framework for reasoning about the motion of a rigid body in space. The idea of a perturbation is introduced as the key to providing a qualitative account of continuity, and a...

Brain activity was recorded while participants engaged in a difficult visual search task for a target defined by the spatial configuration of its component elements. The search displays were segmented by time (a preview then a search display), by motion, or were unsegmented. A preparatory network showed activity to the preview display, in the time but not in the motion segmentation condition. A...
