Mapping of Structure-Function Age-Related Connectivity Changes on Cognition Using Multimodal MRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti

The relationship between age-related changes in brain structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC) with cognition is not well understood. Furthermore, it is not clear whether cognition is represented via a similar spatial pattern of FC and ...

Joint Human Pose Estimation and Stereo 3D Localization

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Sven Kreiss, Lorenzo Bertoni, Wenlong Deng

We present an end-to-end trainable Neural Network architecture for stereo imaging that jointly locates and estimates human body poses in 3D. Our method defines a 2D pose for each human in a stereo pair of images and uses a correlation layer with a composit ...
