A Japanese group has compiled images that correspond to those seen by the person in a dream enabling researchers to reconstruct the dreams. In short, this was accomplished in two passes: first recording the images that are relevant to people and then correlating it with the specific areas of brain stimulated, as seen through MRI….

When screening for phenotypes there are many methods that are used. Usin’Life uses artificial intelligence methods to analyze the image data sets but there have other laboratories that use other interesting methods. Dr Lu’s lab published a paper in Nature methods (Nat. Methods 9, 977–980, 2012) that uses microfluidic technology to determine the phenotypic characteristics…

  Since the time the first IQ test was developed in 1904 by Alfred Binet, there has been a continuous search for a way to predict and quantify human intelligence. The methods have ranged from measuring the diameter or volume of the head to more complex methods of today using imaging methods such as fMRI….

In the field of imaging there is another branch of image acquisition/analysis/study that is called Computational Photography as distinguished from traditional photography. In traditional photography, with a regular camera, you take a picture of a 3D scene through a camera. This light from the scene is captured as a 2-dimensional representation onto a photo-sensitive surface,…
