Structural Classification of Joints01:20

Structural Classification of Joints

8.0K
Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...

Functional Classification of Joints

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

16.0K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

1.6K
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...

Plastic Deformations of Members with a Single Plane of Symmetry01:21

Plastic Deformations of Members with a Single Plane of Symmetry

496
When a structural member undergoes plastic deformation due to bending, it is crucial to understand the position of the neutral axis and the stress distribution. This member, characterized by a single plane of symmetry, exhibits a uniform stress distribution, with negative stress above the neutral axis and positive stress below. Notably, the neutral axis does not align with the centroid of the cross-section. This misalignment is typical in cases where the cross-section is not rectangular or...

Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

690
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Cognitive Science
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Human motion recognition is vital for social interaction but remains poorly understood.
  • The role of low-level motion information, like optical flow, in human movement recognition is debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational model for classifying spatial configurations of gradient and optical flow patterns.
  • To investigate the contribution of gradient and optical flow patterns to human action and facial expression recognition.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized unsupervised learning (Variational Non-negative Matrix Factorization - VNMF) to extract prototypical motion patterns.
  • Incorporated a lateral inhibition mechanism to refine pattern learning and achieve sparse activations.
  • Evaluated the model on human action and facial expression datasets.

Main Results:

  • Gradient patterns alone can recognize human actions.
  • Integrating optical flow patterns significantly improves classification performance.
  • The proposed model demonstrates competitive performance against existing computer vision approaches and biological-inspired models.

Conclusions:

  • A combination of gradient and optical flow patterns offers a robust approach to human motion recognition.
  • The developed computational model provides insights into the processing of visual motion for action and expression recognition.
