introduction phenylketonuria (pku) is a congenital metabolic disorder of phenylalanine, if which, the diet is not to be followed exactly, it can lead to progressive mental retardation. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of face to face and non-face to face trainings by parental on controlling serum phenylalanine levels in the children with phenylketonuria. materials and met...

This study will report on some of the conditions necessary for the presence of short or diminishing lower anterior face height and test the relationship between it and selected facial and occlusal variables. The sample consisted of 120 males with complete longitudinal orthodontic records at the ages of 6, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 years obtained from the serial experimental sample of the Burling...

Every year, many car accidents due to driver fatigue and distraction occur around the world and cause many casualties and injuries. Driver face monitoring systems is one of the main approaches for driver fatigue or distraction detection and accident prevention. Driver face monitoring systems capture the images from driver face and extract the symptoms of fatigue and distraction from eyes, mouth...

In the paper, a methodology for individual face synthesis using given orthogonal photos is proposed. And an integrated speech-driven facial animation system is presented. Firstly, in order to capture given subject’s personal facial configuration, a novel coarse-to-fine strategy based on facial texture and deformable template is proposed to localize some facial feature points in the image of fro...

Many studies have revealed the top-down modulation (spatial attention, attentional load, etc.) on unconscious processing. However, there is little research about how category-selective attention could modulate the unconscious processing. In the present study, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the results showed that category-selective attention modulated unconscious face/tool ...

Studies of the inverted-face effect typically use photos as stimuli. Inverting photos not only misorients the face but also reverses important shading and shadow cues. We decoupled the influence of spatial orientation and the direction of lighting in three experiments and found that the relation between these factors varied with the task given to observers. When the task required identification...

Research on binocular rivalry and motion direction discrimination suggests that stochastic activity early in visual processing influences the perception of ambiguous stimuli. Here, we extend this to higher level tasks of word and face processing. In Experiment 1, we used blocked gender and word discrimination tasks, and in Experiment 2, we used a face versus word discrimination task. Stimuli we...
