A lunar reconnaissance drone for cooperative exploration and high-resolution mapping of extreme locations

David Rodriguez Martinez, Daniel Tataru, Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer

An efficient characterization of scientifically significant locations is essential prior to the return of humans to the Moon. The highest resolution imagery acquired from orbit of south-polar shadowed regions and other relevant locations remains, at best, ...

Perception of visual illusions is intact in schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Fred Mast

There seems to be no common factor for visual perception because performance levels in many visual tasks correlate only weakly with each other. Similar results were found with visual illusions. However, one may expect common visual factors for individuals ...
