Reconstruction of 3D layout and self-pose for natural indoor images. Schematic of the reconstruction approach for an example image (see Methods for details). The left image shows the six manually labeled edges: the two pairs of orange line are the horizontal edges parallel to the ground, while the green line and yellow line were used to calculate the height and width of the middle wall, respectively. The middle panel illustrates the reconstruction procedure based on the labeled lines. The right image shows the reconstructed corners and wall conjunctions. The photograph was taken by the first author and is used for illustrative purposes only.

Layers of the monkey visual cortex are selectively modulated during electrical stimulation Electrical brain stimulation can be used to modulate brain activity but it is unclear how it affects the cortical layers. This study shows that only the deeper layers, but not the superficial layers, ...

How does electrical stimulation affect different cortical layers? ⚡🧠 W/ #Starstim researchers found that only deep layers of monkey V1 showed phase-dependent modulation during visual processing. A step toward layer-targeted neuromodulation! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Scientists find abnormally slow neural dynamics in visual cortex of depressed individuals New brain imaging reveals unusual slowness in the visual cortex of individuals experiencing major depression. This altered activity, linked to symptom severity, highlights a connection between visual processing and the broader depressive state.
