high-resolution imagery such as ikonos satellite can produce useful information for many resource management applications. we investigated the capability of pan and multi spectral ikonos imagery of one region of tehran dated from 2005 in urban vegetation management and mapping of green cover. after data quality of images for radiometric noises, the images were geometrically corrected by polynom...

Motor imagery EEG-based BCI has advantages in the assistance of human control of peripheral devices, such as the mobile robot or wheelchair, because the subject is not exposed to any stimulation and suffers no risk of fatigue. However, the intensive training necessary to recognize the numerous classes of data makes it hard to control these nonholonomic mobile systems accurately and effectively....

Anxiety is often a challenge for athletes making it difficult for them to perform at their optimum. Many successful athletes have acknowledged that imagery, deep breathing exercises, and relaxation exercises are important in anxiety management (Curtin, Munroe-Chandler, & Loughead, 2015; Pineschi & DiPietro, 2013). Relaxation is important for low arousal sports, such as archery, shooting, and da...

PURPOSE The current paper was designed to provide a critical overview on the different methods proposed for the rehabilitation of left spatial neglect. METHODS On the basis of a previous systematic review of the literature, we analyzed all articles available aiming at reducing left spatial neglect which included a long term functional assessment. RESULTS The aim of most early rehabilitation...

A memory-training program previously used effectively upon persons with head-injury (HI) was conducted upon eight subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS). The program involved computer-assisted teaching of imagery-based mnemonic strategies for recall of lengthy lists of words, and for associating names with faces. Results were similar to those found in individuals with HI, but the MS subjects lea...

The Effect of Motor Imagery Training on Proficiency Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Clinical Trial Study

It is an established opinion that young children have good probabilistic intuitions although their mental framework for reasoning probabilistically may be fragmentary and even contain inconsistencies. We join the camp of mathematics educators who advocate an early training in stochastic thinking. We recognize, however, that such early training can only be based on a heuristic approach to stocha...

OBJECTIVE This preliminary study sought to determine whether the imagery perspective used during mental practice (MP) differentially influenced performance outcomes after stroke. METHOD Nineteen participants with unilateral subacute stroke (9 men and 10 women, ages 28-77) were randomly allocated to one of three groups. All groups received 30-min occupational therapy sessions 2×/wk for 6 wk. E...
