non hodgkin lymphomas (nhl) are nodal or extra nodal monoclonal infiltrations by malignant lymphoid cells (b lymphocytes in 80% of cases), which are distinguished as indolent or aggressive forms. according to the heterogeneity of lymphoid cells and their ubiquitous anatomical distribution, these disorders can develop in any organ and have very heterogeneous clinical expressions, but they are us...

Almost all behavioral studies of sound localization have used either an approach-to-target or pointing/orienting task to assess absolute sound localization performance, yet there are very few direct comparisons of these measures. In an approach-to-target task, the subject is trained to walk to a sound source from a fixed location. In an orienting task, finger, head and/or eye movements are moni...

In this paper we present a method for fovea localization which does not use organization information of other retinal structures like optic disk and arcades. The main advantage of this method is that it does not require segmentation/localization of other retinal structures which are required as prior knowledge in existing fovea localization methods. The key idea is to enhance the relative contr...

The locations of the eyes are the most commonly used features to perform face normalization (i. e., alignment of facial features), which is an essential preprocessing stage of many face recognition systems. In this paper, we study the sensitivity of open source implementations of five face recognition algorithms to misalignment caused by eye localization errors. We investigate the ambiguity in ...

In this paper we introduce a fast, robust, accurate eye localization algorithm. Detecting and normalizing human faces from live video streams is the first crucial step in a face verification/recognition system. The accuracy and robustness affect the performance of the following face registration and classification. To localize face regions properly, we detect eye corners by using a corner detec...

We have previously shown that registered vergence eye position is altered while participants perform the Jendrassik Maneuver (JM). We proposed that the altered eye position signal registration is due to the effect of the JM which changes the gain of the sensory feedback from the eye muscles, possibly via the activity of non-twitch motoneurons. We conducted two studies to further extend and clar...

The localization of eye centers is a very useful cue for numerous applications like face recognition, facial expression recognition, and the early screening of neurological pathologies. Several methods relying on available light for accurate eye-center localization have been exploited. However, despite the considerable improvements that eye-center localization systems have undergone in recent y...

OBJECTIVE To introduce a new method of measuring sound localization ability based on eye-tracking and to test this method by analysing the influence of mild induced conductive hearing loss on sound localization. DESIGN Sound signals were presented from different angles, and the participant's responses were measured using an eye-tracking device. For validation, a comparison of responses to vis...
