Vestibular dysfunction is associated with the developmental delay of motor and attention skills. Integrity of the vestibular and visual systems manifest in rapid side to side eye movement called nystagmus. This may be evoked by physical rotation or caloric stimulation to the ear drums. The approach in this technological advance explores whether controlled rotation of the environment can induce the...
In the last few years the eLearning environments have known a very accelerated development becoming a very important educational alternative to the classical teaching methods. Together with the global extend of the Internet infrastructure, the multimedia elements have been more and more used as learning objects providing new methods of information presentation and user interaction techniques. One...
Muscular dystrophy is a degenerative disease that destroys muscles and ultimately kills its victims. Researchers worldwide are racing to find a cure by trying to uncover the genetic processes that cause it. Given that a key process is muscle development, researchers at a consortium of 10 institutions are studying 1,000 men and women, ages 18 to 40 years, to see how their muscles enlarge with exercise...
Scientific investigation and simulation have been producing increasingly large datasets. Usually that kind of data is visualized employing some scientific visualization technique. Another related field, information visualization, deals with nonscientific large scale data, using different approaches to achieve an effective understanding. Our aim is to bring these two fields together, proposing a taxonomy...
The authors describe a 3-D computer animation of kinematic data with superimposed center of gravity and force vectors on a wire-like figure. This animation is used to provide ease in visualizing kinematic and kinetic data obtained by the motion analysis system at the Biomotion Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital. The animation permits qualitative assessment of data validity. In conjunction...
