For our eyes only

Only our patients know for sure.

Although congenital heart disease (CHD) is frequently associated with syndromes that affect multiple organs, the majority of cases present as isolated CHD, and typically defects are limited to a defined structure, suggesting a unique developmental mechanism. Despite the frequent occurrence of CHD, relatively few causative genes have been clearly identified (see review1). In this issue of Circul...

Cutaneous mosaicism: right before our eyes.

Autosomal recessive cutaneous disorders, including various types of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), usually manifest shortly after birth. The clinical course of these diseases is often characterized by severe complications, limited therapeutic options, and a poor prognosis. A study by Pasmooij et al. reported in this issue of the JCI unravels the molecular mechanisms by which germline mutations in ...

Recognizing Faces from the Eyes Only

The eyes are one of the most important facial features for recognizing human faces. Many face recognition systems today make use of local features (such as eyes) for identiication or veriica-tion of individuals, but no system to our knowledge has studied performance when the only available information is the eyes. In this paper we show that we can obtain 85% correct classiication on the popular...

Eyes Only: Navigating Hypertext with Gaze

Eye gaze tracking is an obvious candidate for a future input device, perhaps even for everyday computing. The hard problems with gaze-controlled interfaces are inaccuracy and inadvertent clicking. We attempt to mitigate these problems in the context of a gaze-controlled web browser. Four click alternatives (Dwell, Single Confirm, Multiple Confirm and Radial Confirm) were implemented along with ...
