Mediaeval artists: Masters in directing the observers' gaze

fusiform gyrus. This relatively posterior locus of injury buttresses the view of acquired prosopagnosia as a disorder of visual processing. Although people with developmental prosopagnosia have no obvious lesion in the fusiform gyrus, recent work suggests that there is a subtle alteration of the white matter connections in this region of the brain. Neurons in this area have been shown to respon...

Reward value of attractiveness and gaze.

Faces are visual objects in our environment that provide strong social cues, with the eyes assuming particular importance. Here we show that the perceived attractiveness of an unfamiliar face increases brain activity in the ventral striatum of the viewer when meeting the person's eye, and decreases activity when eye gaze is directed away. Depending on the direction of gaze, attractiveness can t...

chemical recycling of polycarbonate waste using conventional heating and microwave assisted method

پلی کربنات یکی از پلاستیکهای مهمی است که به صورت گسترده در تولید لوحهای فشرده، قطعات رایانه، مواد ساختمانی و غیره مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد. این پلیمر بصورت عمده از تراکم مونومر بیس فنولa (bpa) و کربنیل کلرید یا دی متیل کربنات ها بدست می آید. در سالهای اخیر بازیافت شیمیایی پلی کربنات بیشتر مورد توجه بوده است. بازیافت شیمیایی پلی کربنات برای بدست آوردن مواد اولیه آن با روشهای متفاوتی مانند تجزی...

Mental Rotation in Artists and Non-artists

This research was conducted to compare visuospatial skills in male and female artists and non-artists. Twenty artists (10 males and 10 females) and 20 non-artists (10 males and 10 females) were tested for accuracy and reaction time in a lateralized three-dimensional mental rotation task. Males had significantly fewer errors than females, which is consistent with previous research, but this main...
