چکیده
Sensory-substitution prosthetic systems are based on the idea of substituting visual stimulation with stimulation from another intact sense such as audition or touch. Although such systems have been studied for almost 40 years (Bach-y-Rita 1968), they are still poorly understood. Here we ask whether we learn to perceive simple spatial properties using The vOICe (Meijer 1992), a system for visual-auditory substitution. The vOICe converts images to sounds according to a straightforward rule: images are scanned from left to righ, horizontal positions are converted to temporal position within 1s sound. Vertical pixel position is converted to frequency (lower frequencies meaning lower positions). Pixel intensity is converted to loudness. Thus each scan generates a complex sound signal having a regular mapping of sound features to image features.

KBox - Transparently Shifting Query Execution on Knowledge Graphs to the Edge
The Semantic Web architecture choices lead to a tremendous amount of information published on the Web. However, to query and build applications on top of Linked Open Data is still significantly challenging. In this work, we present Knowledge Box (KBox), an approach for transparently shifting query execution on Knowledge Graphs to the edge. We show that our approach makes the consumption of Know...
متن کاملAPIs à gogo: Automatic Generation of Ontology APIs
When developing application programming interfaces of ontologies that include many instances of ontology design patterns, developers of semantic web applications usually have to handle complex mappings between descriptions of information given by ontologies and object oriented representations of the same information. In current approaches, annotations on API source code handle these mappings, l...

متن کاملBullous variant of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy.
BACKGROUND Spontaneous bullous serous retinal detachment (RD) with subretinal exudation complicating idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC) is a rare and infrequently described clinical entity. Clinical observations are described on this variant form in 11 patients, the largest series reported to date. METHODS 13 eyes of 11 Indian patients having this entity were followed up clini...
متن کاملExtrafoveal photostress recovery test in glaucoma and idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy.
BACKGROUND/AIMS A photostress recovery test was designed to differentiate macular diseases from optic nerve disorders, but recently an abnormal recovery time was reported in glaucoma. The purpose of this study was to search for the difference in abnormality of the photostress recovery test between glaucoma and idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC). METHODS This study involved 21 ...
