Integrating Fine-Grained Classification and Motion Relation Analysis for Face Anti-Spoofing by Ziyang Cheng, Xiafen Zhang

“…By introducing an attention mechanism, the MCAN uses the RAFT optical flow algorithm to adaptively focus on the direction and intensity of micro-movements in key face regions, distinguishing the natural movement of real faces from the static or repetitive motion patterns in spoofing attacks. Inspired by the latest face recognition research, the Distribution Based Additive Margin softmax-Similarity (DAMS-SIM) loss function is designed in the FGCN network to address the asymmetry between real and spoofed samples, enabling the network to capture the local fine-grained texture differences between real faces and spoofing attacks. …”

Social behavior in ASD males: The interplay between cognitive flexibility, working memory, and functional connectivity deviations by Shi Yu Chan, Jasmine Si Min Chuah, Pei Huang, Ai Peng Tan

“…These normative charts were then applied to ASD males (n = 418) to calculate individual deviation scores (z-scores) that reflect the degree of rsFC atypicality. Deviations in rsFC patterns among the default mode network (DMN), ventral attention network (VAN), frontoparietal network (FPN), and somatomotor network (SMN) were associated with distinct dimensions of social behavior. …”
