Episodic memory is a key feature in learning. One must remember past events to act upon a present situation. Episodic memory has been reported to be impaired in individuals with schizophrenia. In order to have an intact episodic memory the contextual features (context) must be bound to the content of the event; this mechanism is referred to as contextual binding. It is proposed that binding errors during the encoding process are responsible for episodic memory impairments in schizophrenia. Since...

This thesis examines two methods for monocular visual odometry, FAST + KLT and ORBSLAM2, in the case of underwater environments.This is done by implementing and testing the methods on different underwater datasets. The results for the FAST + KLT provide no evidence that this method is effective in underwater settings. However, results for the ORBSLAM2 indicate that good performance is possible whenproperly tuned and provided with good camera calibration. Still, thereremain challenges related to,...

Imaging the fetal brain in utero is challenging due to the unpredictable motion of the fetus. Although ultra-fast MRI sequences are able to image a 2D slice in under a second, thus limiting the time in which fetal motion can corrupt images, Cartesian sampling makes these sequences sensitive to signal misregistration and motion-corruption. Corruption of a single 2D slice renders it impossible to reconstruct 3D volumes from these slices without complex slice-to-volume registration. There is a need...
