Neuropsychiatry and Neural Cubism

Video Cubism

We present new non-photorealistic (NPR) rendering tools for video. Inspired by the Cubist and Futurist art movements that questioned previous notions of space and time within paintings, we view an input video as a space-time cube of data, rather than a series of static frames. Our tools process the video as a whole to produce a set of stroke-solids, units for rendering that appear over multiple...

Neural Sufficiency, Reductionism, and Cognitive Neuropsychiatry

Cubism and Research Synthesis

Cubist art movement of fracturing objects into geometric shapes. The term cubism draws on the art critic Louis Vauxcelles’ reference to the bizarre cubes he saw in budding artwork that fragmented form into interlocking blocks. Many Cubists reduced objects into cylinders, spheres, and cones and painted them in a single plane as if all faces of an object are visible simultaneously or successively...

Techniques for Interactive Video Cubism

This paper presents an interactive video visualization technique called video cubism. With this technique, video data is considered to be a block of three dimensional data where frames of video data comprise the third dimension. The user can observe and manipulate a cut plane or cut sphere through the video data. An external real-time video source may also be attached to the video cube. The vis...

Neuropsychiatry

The purpose of this book is to exhaustively review what appears to be a general integration between the subspecialities of neurology and psychiatry. In the Foreward, it is pointed out that practitioners of neurology and psychiatry “have been assigned the uniquely challenging task of treating the most complex disorders of the most complex organ in the body.”p xi The Preface notes that recent beh...
