The moment the first stone tools appeared in Africa, about 2.5m years ago, a new, faster evolution, that of human culture, became visible on Earth: from cave paintings to the Renaissance, from Galileo to the 3D printer, this cultural evolution has advanced at breathtaking speed compared with ...
The cranial vault—the globular portion of the head, shaped by flat, plate-like bones that surround and protect the brain—shows considerable size and shape variation within and among human populations1,2. Because cranial vault morphology has implications for paleoanthropology3,4, forensics5,6, and...
As human brain is the centre of any response to a certain stimulus, it is believed that neurological signals are highly correlated to complex integrative functions, such as sensory and motor integration57. In the reviewed literature, two types of neurological sensors were used to assess pain: (1...
Most research in this area is to assist individuals with preexisting conditions and have not been implemented in normal functioning humans for the sake of human augmentation; however, this can perhaps change in the coming years. Neuroprosthetics are defined as devices that help or augment the ...
So don’t use these sauropod diagrams to study for your human anatomy courses! Instead, a great learning exercise would be to redraw this diagram so it was accurate for a human. If you do that, feel free to drop me a line in the comments and we can talk about your results. Standing...
We also define the spine curvature by atlas vertebral centroids, for enforcing the shape of the spine. In addition to image data, we include the vertebral labels as an additional annotation attached to the network input as depicted in Figure 2. We take a registration approach for shape ...
It is unclear whether the trunk mobility in the 4xT-group is changed due to changes in elasticity (Young’s modulus) of the tissues encompassing and comprising the spine and/or by changes in neuromuscular reflexes. In the 4xT-group, the FTMs are applied in the SKD direction with a ...
And for this title I even had a first cover draft made—complete with an eye, added on the theory that human visual perception would draw people to the eye, and thus make them notice the book: ✕ But back in 1992 (and I think it would be different today) people really didn’...
