Measuring the impacts of environmental contaminants on fish behavior is often subjective and challenging particularly when dealing with sublethal endpoints. We describe methods including video technology to quantify swimming behavior of early life stage white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) during and after 96 hr acute exposures to various concentrations of copper.

From Voxels to Knowledge: A Practical Guide to the Segmentation of Complex Electron Microscopy 3D-Data

2014
The bottleneck for cellular 3D electron microscopy is feature extraction (segmentation) in highly complex 3D density maps. We have developed a set of criteria, which provides guidance regarding which segmentation approach (manual, semi-automated, or automated) is best suited for different data types, thus providing a starting point for effective segmentation.
FAQs
Inner speech can direct attention by organizing what a person notices, while imagined question-and-answer exchanges create a way to consider more than one perspective. Together, these processes help connect an experience with interpretation and possible action. This makes self-dialogue relevant to psychological accounts of attention, perspective-taking, and behavior guidance.
Whether self-dialogue supports or undermines coping depends partly on the way thoughts are framed. Constructive exchanges can reframe thoughts when emotions or difficult situations make an interpretation unhelpful. By contrast, harsh or repetitive self-talk may strengthen distressing interpretations. The distinction matters because the same internal activity can contribute either to regulation or continued distress.
Self-dialogue also supports metacognition, meaning the ability to monitor one’s own thinking or performance. By asking internal questions and evaluating choices, a person can check progress, identify a response that needs reconsideration, and adjust behavior. In psychology, this links inner language with goal setting, performance monitoring, problem solving, and regulation of attention.
In reflective practice, self-dialogue can be used to examine an experience, evaluate the choices made, and consider how a different interpretation might guide later behavior. It provides an opportunity to connect attention, emotion, interpretation, and action, making reflection useful for learning from challenging situations and for considering how future responses could be improved.
Within cognitive-behavioral interventions, the technique can focus attention on distressing interpretations and encourage their reconsideration. A person may use internal questions to examine a thought in relation to an emotion or challenging situation, then develop a more constructive framing. Its relevance lies in linking thought reframing with emotional regulation and behavior guidance.
Psychologists examine self-dialogue across several complementary areas rather than treating it as only a language phenomenon. Studies can consider how inner speech relates to cognition and attention, how internal exchanges support motivation and goals, how people monitor performance, and how patterns of self-talk relate to mental health. These perspectives connect everyday experience with psychological research.
