Interactive Teeth Segmentationinteractive geometric algorithm to accurately segment the upper and lower teeth that are 3D models reconstructed from 2D CT dental images
Intermittency of Slow Arm Movementsinvestigate two potential sources for the origins of movement intermittency and conclude that intermittency is more likely due to noise in the neuromuscular system
