A BLINDED SOLDIER RELEARNING TO SEE

Relearning to See in Cortical Blindness.

The incidence of cortically induced blindness is increasing as our population ages. The major cause of cortically induced blindness is stroke affecting the primary visual cortex. While the impact of this form of vision loss is devastating to quality of life, the development of principled, effective rehabilitation strategies for this condition lags far behind those used to treat motor stroke vic...

Introducing a new meta-heuristic algorithm based on See-See Partridge Chicks Optimization to solve dynamic optimization problems

The SSPCO (See-See Particle Chicks Optimization) is a type of swarm intelligence algorithm derived from the behavior of See-See Partridge. Although efficiency of this algorithm has been proven for solving static optimization problems, it has not yet been tested to solve dynamic optimization problems. Due to the nature of NP-Hard dynamic problems, this algorithm alone is not able to solve such o...

Does sensory relearning improve tactile function after carpal tunnel decompression? A pragmatic, assessor-blinded, randomized clinical trial

Despite surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome being effective in 80%-90% of cases, chronic numbness and hand disability can occur. The aim of this study was to investigate whether sensory relearning improves tactile discrimination and hand function after decompression. In a multi-centre, pragmatic, randomized, controlled trial, 104 patients were randomized to a sensory relearning ( n = 52) or cont...

A study of Moses’ request to see God and the issue of his infallibility

The request to see God is one of the theological paradoxes mentioned in the life story of Prophet Moses (a) that apparently opposes his infallibility. The verse 143 of the chapter A’rāf is one of the places this story is narrated. The opponents of infallibility suggest that Moses knew God is not physical or visible, nor occupies a place, so why did he have such a request? The answer is that he ...
