This study investigated visual cues to age by using facial composites which blend shape and colour information from multiple faces. Baseline measurements showed that perceived age of adult male faces is on average an accurate index of their chronological age over the age range 20-60 years. Composite images were made from multiple images of different faces by averaging face shape and then blendi...

Goal-directed behavior requires the continuous monitoring and dynamic adjustment of ongoing actions. Here, we report a direct coupling between the event-related electroencephalogram (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and behavioral measures of performance monitoring in humans. By applying independent component analysis to EEG signals recorded simultaneously with fMRI, we found...

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) signs may be found reliably in monkeys (Macaca mulatta) bred selectively in Florida after 14 generations of inbreeding in a closed colony at the University of Puerto Rico. Progression, ultrastructure and functional losses are parallel to those found in humans.

Two studies were conducted to determine the relative importance ofprocessing speed and knowledge as predictors of performance in simple verbal tasks within samples of young and old adults. Eight diJferent criterion tasks weie investigaled, and performance on each was found to be significantly related both to speed of processing and to quantity of word knowledge. It was also discovered that alth...

(n = 704 066). Cumulative proportions for the total number of sectors and the total population contained within those sectors were also calculated. On the basis of these results, if 20% of the most deprived sectors in Scotland (1 205 833/4 998 202 (24%) of the population) were targeted, 41% of unemployed people and 34% of low income households would be “captured” (figure). By targeting 254 post...

Purpose. To present a series of retinal disease cases that were imaged by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in order to illustrate the potential and limitations of this new imaging modality. Methods. The series comprised four selected cases (one case each) of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), and bran...

BACKGROUND Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the most prevalent cause of visual loss in patients older than 60 years in the United States. Observation of drusen is the hallmark finding in the clinical evaluation of ARMD. OBJECTIVES To segment and quantify drusen found in patients with ARMD using image analysis and to compare the efficacy of image analysis segmentation with that of st...
