First large-scale evaluation of iris recognition under way
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced that it is running the Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE), the first large-scale evaluation of iris recognition. view more (2005-08-11)
Study evaluates transcription accuracy in men and women
There is a significantly higher rate of transcription error in women compared to men when using commercial voice recognition applications, according to a recent study. view more (2007-05-07)
Learned motor programs directly influence the visual perception of movements
When novel movements are learned-for example, in sports-visual and motor learning take place simultaneously. view more (2006-01-10)
Intelligent environments amongst us
The ROBOTIKER Technological Centre is undertaking a Project involving Recognition of the Person and Adaptation to the Environment. The interacting of users with intelligent environments can be divided into three phases: recognising the person, adapting to the person and interacting with them. The ADAPTA project, being developed by ROBOTIKER... view more... (2004-06-07)
The Nose Knows: Two Fixation Points Needed for Face Recognition
Many of us are bad at remembering names but we are very quick to point out that at least we never forget a face. view more (2008-10-21)
Me, My Left Brain and I: Recognising yourself and others
Whereas the right side of the brain seems to be used for identifying other people's faces, the left side of the brain is used when we recognise our own. Reports out from psychologists today suggest that this means the right side of the brain is used to perceive others and the left side of the brain is specialised for processing the self. view more (2004-04-19)
Mother deer cannot recognize the calls of their own offspring but sheep and reindeer can
In a new study from The American Naturalist, researchers from the University of Zurich studied vocal communication between fallow deer mothers and their offspring. view more (2006-09-05)
Wide variation by ambulance crews of when to stop resuscitating patients
The point at which crews are allowed to recognise that a patient has died or that life-saving resuscitation attempts are no longer warranted, varies widely among UK ambulance services, reveals research in Emergency Medicine Journal. This is despite the publication of national, validated guidelines in 1996, which apply to all adults who have not... view more... (2002-07-08)
Why C is not G: How we identify letters
The next time you are reading a book, or even as you read this article, consider the words that you are seeing. How do you recognize these words? Substantial research has shown that while reading, we recognize words by their letters and not by the general shape of the word. view more (2008-11-26)

ETH Zurich: Fast and Cheap Detection of Bacteria
Carbohydrates displayed on the surface of cells play critical roles in cell-cell recognition, adhesion, signaling between cells, and as markers for disease progression. Neural cells for instance use carbohydrates to facilitate development and regeneration and viruses recognize carbohydrates to gain entry into host cells. Identification of the... view more...

Once bitten, twice shy
Fish may only have a 3-second memory, but lobsters certainly don't. Professor Jelle Atema's group at the Boston University Marine Program has discovered that when two lobsters fight, the loser remembers the winner and determines the intensity of a later fight when the two meet again. Male lobsters can use the smell of urine to distinguish between... view more... (2004-03-24)
Computer vision
Widespread crime and the rise of global terrorism have meant that security systems need to incorporate sophisticated and rapid computer recognition of human faces, as delegates will hear next week at the British Machine Vision Conference being held at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Another side of the same coin is in making human faces that... view more... (2003-09-02)
Recognition at last
A rapid but superior method for computerized face recognition could revolutionize security systems especially if it can see through disguises. view more (2009-07-08)
'Super-recognizers,' with extraordinary face recognition ability, never forget a face
Some people say they never forget a face, a claim now bolstered by psychologists at Harvard University who've discovered a group they call "super-recognizers": those who can easily recognize someone they met in passing, even many years later. view more (2009-05-20)
Clinical symptoms may aid early diagnosis of variant CJD
The possibility of a large epidemic of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease cannot be excluded, and doctors may see patients who are worried about the possibility of this diagnosis. A study in this week’s BMJ provides a comprehensive description of the early psychiatric and neurological features of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease to aid early... view more... (2002-06-19)
A new kind of mutation could explain numerous phenotypic variations in various species
The authors describe the discovery of a novel class of mutations that disrupt the function of a gene and thereby cause a specific phenotype. The mutation created the appearance of an "illegitimate" microRNA (miRNA) recognition site in a gene that did not have it in its normal form. view more (2006-06-06)
Royal Medals for scientific achievement
The Royal Society - the UK's independent academy for science - has announced the winners of its Royal Medals for 2002. The three winners receive the awards in recognition of their achievements in the fields of cancer research, nuclear magnetic resonance and the epidemiology of smoking and chronic disease. Professor Suzanne Cory receives her Royal... view more... (2002-07-30)
The Psychology of Déjà vu
All of us have experienced being in a new place and feeling certain that we have been there before. This mysterious feeling, commonly known as déjà vu, occurs when we feel that a new situation is familiar, even if there is evidence that the situation could not have occurred previously. view more (2008-11-19)
Recognizing someone's name but forgetting how you met them is all in your head
New research from The University of Western Ontario suggests the sometimes eerie feeling experience when recognizing someone, yet failing to remember how or why, reveals important insight into how memory is wired in the human brain. view more (2007-10-26)
