Cognition, historically considered uniquely human capacity, has been recently found to be the ability of all living organisms, from single cells and up. This study approaches cognition from an info-computational stance, in which structures in nature are seen as information, and processes (information dynamics) are seen…

“Morphological computation” is an increasingly important concept in robotics, artificial intelligence, and philosophy of the mind. It is used to understand how the body contributes to cognition and control of behavior. Its understanding in terms of “offloading” computation from the brain to the body has been criticized…

The applicability of computational models to the biological world is an active topic of debate. We argue that a useful path forward results from abandoning hard boundaries between categories and adopting an observer-dependent, pragmatic view. Such a view dissolves the contingent dichotomies driven by human cognitive…

In the age of genomics, artificial intelligence (AI), and systems biology, morphology risks becoming an invisible discipline, present in the background, but often unacknowledged in its interpretative power. Biology, however, remains spatial, structured, and shaped. From subcellular compartments to complex organ…

'Artur B. Saturnino' 'Hannah Cui' 'Kristi Zoga' 'Michael P. Hart' 'Pablo G. Camara'] High-resolution imaging has revolutionized the study of single cells in their spatial context. However, summarizing the great diversity of complex cell shapes found in tissues and inferring associations with other single-cell data…

To assist creation of segmented images required as input to the CellWalker Blender add-on, we provide image segmentation and segmentation visualization scripts as IPython Notebooks ([https://github.com/utraf-pasteur-institute/CellWalker-notebooks]()) that are open-source as well as visible-source, enhancing the…

The morphological traits of plants contribute to many important functional features such as radiation interception, lodging tolerance, gas exchange efficiency, spatial competition between individuals and/or species, and disease resistance. Although the importance of plant phenotyping techniques is increasing with…

'Ruogu Fang' 'Lina Cui' 'Yousong Ding' 'Tamer Kahveci' 'Jiang Bian' 'Chenglong Li' 'Hendrik Luesch' 'Yanjun Li'] Title: Abstract Morphological profiling is a valuable tool in phenotypic drug discovery. The advent of high-throughput automated imaging has enabled the capturing of a wide range of morphological features of…

'Bo-Jui Chang' 'Meghan Driscoll' 'Gaudenz Danuser'] Signal transduction and cell function are governed by the spatiotemporal organization of membrane-associated molecules. Despite significant advances in visualizing molecular distributions by 3D light microscopy, cell biologists still have limited quantitative…

Landscape morphology is a significant area of landscape architecture research. One of the scientific and technological issues in recent landscape morphology research is the use of quantitative analysis technology driven by morphology indexes and computational models to describe, compare, and analyze form features. This…

At present, data mining technology is continuously researched in science and application. With the rapid development of remote sensing satellite industry, especially the launch of remote sensing satellites with high-resolution sensors, the amount of information obtained from remote sensing images has increased…

'Pakorn Kanchanawong'] Cell morphology is profoundly influenced by cellular interactions with microenvironmental factors such as the extracellular matrix (ECM). Upon adhesion to specific ECM, various cell types are known to exhibit different but distinctive morphologies, suggesting that ECM-dependent cell morphological…
