We describe a novel methodology for creating naturalistic 3-D objects and object categories with precisely defined feature variations. We use simulations of the biological processes of morphogenesis and phylogenesis to create novel, naturalistic virtual 3-D objects and object categories that can then be rendered as visual images or haptic objects.

Pneumonia is one of the top ten leading causes of death in the U.S. Osteopathic manipulative techniques (OMT) may be utilized as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of pneumonia to enhance biomechanical and immune function; and ultimately, to reduce hospital stay, duration of antibiotics, incidence of respiratory failure, and mortality. In this video-article, we will review randomized controlled studies on the use of OMT in pneumonia patients, as well as demonstrate specific hands-on...

Multiple Object Tracking

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University In a staggeringly complex and engaging world, it is crucial to selectively process some stimuli at the expense of others. Experimental psychologists call this ability attention. Specifically, visual attention refers to the ability to selectively process aspects of a visual scene. Many paradigms used to study visual attention involve brief, punctuated, and repeated trials. However, everyday situations often place sustained demands...

FAQs
The training links what the learner sees with the timing and direction of hand and finger movements. Visual information helps guide grasping, positioning, rotation, and release, while performance feedback allows the learner to correct errors during practice. This coordination supports more accurate control of objects and provides a foundation for tasks requiring precise manual actions.
Accurate performance depends not only on where the hand moves, but also on how much force is applied and which path the object follows. Learners practice adjusting these variables as they handle objects, helping them refine control rather than rely on a single repeated motion. These adjustments are relevant to clinical tasks that require careful instrument handling.
Repeated, controlled practice gives learners multiple opportunities to coordinate visual cues, finger movements, force, and trajectory. Because performance can be observed across attempts, feedback can guide progressive correction rather than leaving errors unnoticed. Repetition also makes it possible to compare performance over time, helping educators determine whether dexterity and coordination are improving.
A standardized task provides the same observable performance target across practice or assessment sessions. Educators can examine how accurately a learner grasps, positions, rotates, or releases an object and identify areas needing additional practice. This structured observation helps distinguish general difficulty from a more specific control problem and supports focused training decisions.
Begin by selecting an object-based task that matches the learner’s clinical or functional goal. Have the learner perform the required handling actions through repeated, controlled practice, while observing coordination, force, trajectory, and accuracy. Provide feedback on performance, then reassess the task over time. The sequence can be adapted for instrument handling, simulation, or rehabilitation.
In clinical education, the approach is useful when learners need practice with manual control before or alongside simulated procedures. Object-based exercises can focus attention on grasping, positioning, rotating, and releasing, while performance feedback highlights skill gaps. This creates an observable way to develop and evaluate fine motor control relevant to instrument handling and other precise clinical tasks.
For rehabilitation, tasks can be tailored to the learner’s functional goals and clinical context rather than applied identically to everyone. Practice emphasizes controlled hand and finger actions, with feedback helping the learner adjust performance. Observable task results can then show changes in dexterity and coordination over time, supporting decisions about progression and documenting functional recovery.
