«Using a robotic arm to immerse an object on an axis at various angles, and measuring the volume displacement of each dip, we combine each sequence and create a
volumetric shape
representation of an object,» says Prof. Andrei Scharf, of Ben - Gurion University of the Negev, Department of Computer Science.
Finally, Morgan Barense will report that the impoverished
representations of visual objects that are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease are associated with abnormal viewing patterns related to
volumetric reductions in entorhinal cortex.
