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.

Using Virtual Reality to Transfer Motor Skill Knowledge from One Hand to Another

2017
We describe a novel virtual-reality based setup which exploits voluntary control of one hand to improve motor-skill performance in the other (non-trained) hand. This is achieved by providing real-time movement-based sensory feedback as if the non-trained hand is moving. This new approach may be used to enhance rehabilitation of patients with unilateral hemiparesis.
FAQs
Metacognition allows people to examine not only their thoughts and decisions, but also how confidently and accurately they understand those mental processes. This second-level evaluation can reveal gaps between perceived motives, abilities, or judgments and actual patterns of behavior. In psychology, that distinction is important because cognitive biases may make self-assessments incomplete or misleading.
Other people observe behavior in situations that individuals may overlook or interpret selectively. Their feedback can therefore provide evidence about abilities, motives, emotional responses, or recurring behavioral patterns that introspection and memory do not fully capture. Comparing external feedback with one’s own self-observations may refine self-concept and support more accurate judgments about personal strengths and limitations.
These processes contribute different forms of information. Introspection examines current thoughts and emotions, memory supplies information about earlier experiences and decisions, and self-observation tracks behavior as it occurs. Their value depends on how consistently a person examines them and recognizes possible distortions. Together, they help connect internal experiences with recurring patterns that influence goals, relationships, and decisions.
Self-knowledge becomes more useful when people compare what they value or believe motivates them with how they repeatedly behave. This comparison can expose consistency as well as discrepancies between intentions and actions. Recognizing those relationships helps explain decisions, clarify personal priorities, and identify patterns that may affect emotional regulation, goal setting, or interactions with other people.
A practical process combines introspection, self-observation, memory review, and feedback from others. The individual can examine thoughts and emotions, notice recurring behavior, consider relevant past experiences, and compare personal interpretations with outside perspectives. Metacognition adds an accuracy check by asking how reliable each conclusion is. This process can support clearer goals and more adaptive personal development.
In psychotherapy, examining thoughts, emotions, motives, and behavioral patterns can support emotional regulation and personal development. Mental health researchers study related processes to investigate identity formation, self-concept, judgment, and cognitive biases. These applications make self-knowledge relevant both to understanding individual psychological functioning and to evaluating how people interpret their own experiences.
Self-knowledge can help individuals recognize abilities, clarify values, set goals, and evaluate the reasoning behind decisions. In education, these insights may inform personal development and judgment about learning-related behavior. In workplaces, understanding motives, emotional responses, and interaction patterns can provide context for behavior and support more adaptive relationships and decision-making.
Awareness of one’s emotions, motives, values, and recurring behavior patterns can shape how a person interprets social situations and responds to others. Feedback also contributes information that may revise self-concept, while ongoing reflection helps organize experiences into a sense of identity. These processes make self-knowledge relevant to both identity formation and more adaptive social relationships.
