QUANTIFICATION OF SMOKING CHARACTERISTICS USING SMARTWATCH TECHNOLOGY: PILOT FEASIBILITY STUDY OF NEW TECHNOLOGY

Quantification of Smoking Characteristics Using Smartwatch Technology: Pilot Feasibility Study of New Technology

BackgroundWhile there have been many technological advances in studying the neurobiological and clinical basis of tobacco use disorder and nicotine addiction, there have been relatively minor advances in technologies for monitoring, characterizing, and intervening to prevent smoking in real time.Better understanding of real-time smoking behavior ca

Stereo Hysteresis Revisited

One of the most fascinating phenomena in stereopsis is the profound hysteresis effect reported by Fender and Julesz (1967), in which the depth percept persisted with increasing disparity long past the point at which depth was recovered with decreasing disparity.To control retinal disparity without vergence eye movements, they stabilized the stimuli
