Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory01:26

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory

1.9K
Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or...

Schizophrenia01:17

Schizophrenia

843
Schizophrenia, a term introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911, describes a severe psychological disorder marked by profound disruptions in attention, thought processes, language, emotion, and interpersonal relationships. The core feature of schizophrenia is psychosis — a state characterized by a fundamental detachment from reality. This disconnection manifests through distorted logic, impaired perception, and atypical behavior, severely affecting the lives of those...

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia

539
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Genetic Factors in Schizophrenia
The genetic basis of schizophrenia is strongly supported by family and twin...

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.6K
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.

Pilot and Numeric Relaying01:21

Pilot and Numeric Relaying

485
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

Role of Affect in Interpersonal Attraction01:24

Role of Affect in Interpersonal Attraction

220
Affect plays a crucial role in shaping interpersonal evaluations and perceptions. Emotions influence how individuals judge and respond to others, often determining whether interactions are viewed positively or negatively. This effect can manifest directly through interactions with the person in question or indirectly via associations with unrelated emotional experiences.Direct Effects of Affect on AttractionAffect directly influences interpersonal attraction when a person’s behavior...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Computer Vision
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Affect classification in mental status exams is inconsistent among clinicians.
  • Facial Action Recognition (FAR) offers tools for objective facial expression analysis.
  • Schizophrenia diagnosis and monitoring benefit from reliable affect assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore machine learning's potential in classifying patient affect using FAR.
  • To assess if computer vision algorithms can predict psychiatrist affect ratings.
  • To identify key facial regions influencing affect evaluation in schizophrenia patients.

Main Methods:

  • Extracted FAR features from videotaped psychiatric interviews of 25 male schizophrenia inpatients.
  • Utilized a novel computer vision algorithm and machine learning to predict affect.
  • Compared algorithm predictions against ratings from five senior psychiatrists.

Main Results:

  • The machine learning FAR system demonstrated significant predictive power for psychiatrist affect ratings.
  • Facial features around the eyes were identified as the most influential in affect evaluation.
  • The system showed potential as a clinician-supporting tool for mental status examinations.

Conclusions:

  • Machine learning applied to FAR shows promise for enhancing the reliability of affect classification.
  • Objective analysis of facial expressions can augment subjective clinical judgment.
  • This approach may lead to more consistent and dependable mental status examinations.
