The human visual system, like that of other mammals, comprises a multiplicity of parallel visual pathways of old evolutionary origin that bypass the primary visual cortex (V1; Milner and Goodale, 2006; Tamietto and de Gelder, 2010). We currently know very little about these V1-independent pathways, but it makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint that these pathways are not simply vestigial, ...

This paper presents SIVHA, a high quality Spanish speech synthesis system for severe disabled persons controlled by their eye movements. The system follows the eye-gaze of the patients along the screen and constructs the text with the selected words. When the user considers that the construction of the message has been finished, the synthesis of the message can be ordered. The system is divided...

During the early postnatal age environmental signals underlie development of sensory systems. The visual system is considered as an appropriate system for evaluation of the role of sensory experience in postnatal development of sensory systems. In this study we evaluated the effect of visual deprivation on the usage of visuospatial cues in navigation of radial arm maze. Light (LR) and dark rear...

In this paper, a novel saliency theory based RR-IQA metric is introduced. As the human visual system is sensitive to the salient region, evaluating the image quality based on the salient region could increase the accuracy of the algorithm. In order to extract the salient regions, we use blob decomposition (BD) tool as a texture component descriptor. A new method for blob decomposition is propos...

in this paper, a mechanized system for self-assessment based on process-oriented approach of iso 9004:2000 has been developed. to design of this mechanized system, the expert system has been used as in providing the assessment and scoring questions the experts’ knowledge, head auditors of quality management system, has been used and this knowledge has been saved in the access software database....
