An experimental in vitro demonstration of the "fluidization" of a healthy human red blood cell through a microfliuidic channel at room temperature. The series of images shows how the shape of a red blood cell changes as it is squeezed through a 4 micron by 4 micron channel.

MIT researchers have discovered that treating bone marrow stem cells with a growth factor called EGF promotes their survival and growth when the EGF is tethered to a scaffold. This image shows stem cells with no EGF treatment. <a onclick="MM_openBrWindow('stem-cells-1-enlarged.html','','width=509, height=583')">

An MIT model for object recognition takes as input the unlabeled images of digital photographs from the street scene database (top) and generates automatic annotations (bottom row). The orange bounding boxes are for pedestrians ("ped") and cars ("car"). The system would have also detected bicycles if present. For sky, buildings, trees and road, the system uses color coding (blue, brown, green and ...

Computer model mimics neural processes in object recognition

Applications include surveillance, visual search engines, biomedical imaging analysis and robots with realistic vision
