The discovery of mirror neurons has been recognized as one of the major developments in neuroscience, with possible implications for the explanation of many important cognitive functions, including action and perception understanding, imitation, and empathy. In the mirror neuron system, action observation, imitation, and empathy are represented in the same basic motor circuit as action executio...

Mirror objects are the key building blocks in the virtual `workbenches' and `portals' for scienti c and engineering applications constructed by our group. This paper uses mirror objects in the implementation of the RTTB design workbench, which controls components of the RTTB rapid tooling and prototyping testbed. Mirror objects continuously mirror the states of remote software or even hardware ...

An 18 year old right handed woman presented to the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center (MAPC) at the Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) with a marked tremor of her right hand. The tremor was disabling, preventing or hindering her from performing her activities of daily living (ADLs). An evaluation including a detailed neurological examination, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a dopamine tr...

Mirror neurons, discovered by Rizzolatti et al. in the 1990s , have been the subject of much debate. There are many theories regarding their possible function, both evolutionarily as well as in day to day life. It has been proposed that mirror neurons are the single neuron substrates of the Common Code , which links perceptual and action representations to allow the brain to predict of the outc...

introduction intensity-modulated radiotherapy (imrt) is becoming an increasingly routine treatment method. imrt can be delivered by use of conventional multileaf collimators (mlcs) and/or physical compensators. one of the most important factors in selecting an appropriate imrt technique is integral dose. integral dose is equal to the mean energy deposited in the total irradiated volume of the p...

Background: Stroke patients generally have disorders related to decreased functionality, motor disturbances being the most common. One symptom of stroke is sudden weakness one side body on face, arms and legs. Central post-stroke pain a condition central neuropathic arising directly from lesions cerebrovascular somatosensory nervous system. Mirror therapy non-pharmacological in form imaging lim...

A mirror pyramid consists of a set of planar mirror faces arranged around an axis of symmetry and inclined to form a pyramid. By strategically positioning a number of conventional cameras around a mirror pyramid, the viewpoints of the cameras’ mirror images can be located at a single point within the pyramid and their optical axes pointed in different directions to effectively form a virtual ca...

In this paper, we propose a calibration method for catadioptric camera sy stems consisting of a rotation symmetry mirror, like H yperO mni V ision, and an affi ne camera. T he proposed method is based on conventional camera calibration and mirror postu re estimation. M any methods for camera calibration have previou sly been proposed. In the last decade, methods for catadioptric camera calibrat...
