Feature blindness: A challenge for understanding and modelling visual object recognition.

PLoS computational biology
Humans rely heavily on the shape of objects to recognise them. Recently, it has been argued that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can also show a shape-bias, provided their learning environment contains this bias. This has led to the proposal tha...

Preventing corneal blindness caused by keratitis using artificial intelligence.

Nature communications
Keratitis is the main cause of corneal blindness worldwide. Most vision loss caused by keratitis can be avoidable via early detection and treatment. The diagnosis of keratitis often requires skilled ophthalmologists. However, the world is short of op...

Gender blindness: On health and welfare technology, AI and gender equality in community care.

Nursing inquiry
Digital health and welfare technologies and artificial intelligence are proposed to revolutionise healthcare systems around the world by enabling new models of care. Digital health and welfare technologies enable remote monitoring and treatments, and...

The emerging role of artificial intelligence in multiple sclerosis imaging.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England)
BACKGROUND: Computer-aided diagnosis can facilitate the early detection and diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) thus enabling earlier interventions and a reduction in long-term MS-related disability. Recent advancements in the field of artificial in...

Neurolight: A Deep Learning Neural Interface for Cortical Visual Prostheses.

International journal of neural systems
Visual neuroprosthesis, that provide electrical stimulation along several sites of the human visual system, constitute a potential tool for vision restoration for the blind. Scientific and technological progress in the fields of neural engineering an...

FingerSight: A Vibrotactile Wearable Ring for Assistance With Locating and Reaching Objects in Peripersonal Space.

IEEE transactions on haptics
This paper describes a prototype guidance system, "FingerSight," to help people without vision locate and reach to objects in peripersonal space. It consists of four evenly spaced tactors embedded into a ring worn on the index finger, with a small ca...

RUDO: A Home Ambient Intelligence System for Blind People.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The article introduces an ambient intelligence system for blind people which besides providing assistance in home environment also helps with various situations and roles in which blind people may find themselves involved. RUDO, the designed system, ...

Representing vision and blindness.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: There have been relatively few attempts to represent vision or blindness ontologically. This is unsurprising as the related phenomena of sight and blindness are difficult to represent ontologically for a variety of reasons. Blindness has ...
