Physiological Correlates of Bilateral Symmetry in Humans

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2000
Departures from perfect bilateral symmetry are thought to mirror an organism's ability to maintain developmental homeostasis. There is evidence showing that symmetry is negatively correlated with evolutionary and physical fitness. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between symmetry and health-related physiological ...

OPTIMIZED QUANTITATIVE BILATERAL SYMMETRY DETECTION

International Journal of Information Acquisition, 2005
In [Westhoff et al., 2005], we proposed a novel method to determine illumination-invariant features in images. The quantitative bilateral symmetry of a given scene is computed using dynamic programming before applying the resulting symmetry image and feature vector signatures to an omnidirectional motion tracking task.

The Emergence of the Bilateral Symmetry in Animals: A Review and a New Hypothesis [PDF]

Symmetry, 2021
Most biological organisms exhibit different kinds of symmetry; an Animal (Metazoa), which is our Darwinist ancestor, has bilateral symmetry, and many plants exhibit rotational symmetry. It raises some questions: I.

Bilateral Symmetry Strengthens the Perceptual Salience of Figure against Ground [PDF]

Symmetry, 2019
International audienceAlthough symmetry has been discussed in terms of a major law of perceptual organization since the early conceptual efforts of the Gestalt school (Wertheimer, Metzger, Koffka and others), the first quantitative measurements testing ...

The major-axis effect: Axes of bilateral symmetry or loci of neural interactions?

Perception & Psychophysics, 1978
Distortions in perceptual judgments have been attributed to the axes of bilateral symmetry of surrounding figures. In the figures used in prior investigations, the axes of bilateral symmetry have been confounded with loci where heightened neural ...

Bilateral Symmetry Detection via Symmetry-Growing

Procedings of the British Machine Vision Conference 2009, 2009
We present a novel and robust method for localizing and segmenting bilaterally symmetric patterns from real-world images. On the basis of symmetrically matched pairs of local features, our method expands and merges condent local symmetric region matches by exploiting both photometric similarity and geometric consistency via our new symmetry-growing ...

Interocular symmetry analysis of bilateral eyes

Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 2014
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the interocular symmetry of several biometric parameters between both eyes. The symmetry between the right and left eye of 397 subjects in 14 biometric parameters, spherical equivalent of refractive error (SE), Jackson crossed cylinder power of refractive error astigmatism with axes at 90° and 180° (RJ0) and at

The honeybee (Apis mellifera) detects bilateral symmetry and discriminates its axis [PDF]

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1996
Honeybees were trained and tested with a choice between a black and white pattern composed of two pairs of equal orthogonal bars with bilateral symmetry and the same or a similar pattern with a different ...

Bilateral Symmetry and Perceptual Reversals

Perception, 2014
Imposition of patterns varying in symmetry about the observer's median plane on a reversible figure affects duration for which each of the fluctuating percepts is experienced. Symmetry of the imposed patterns is associated with lesser difference between the two durations.
