Funny story. I have only one eye, and when in public I signify this by wearing a very obvious eye path. Even without the eye patch, my prosthetic eye looks nothing like my functioning eye (by choice).
I went to the optician a few weeks ago in order to get a new pair of glasses who performed the usual tests. She knew full well that I have only one eye, but when testing my functioning eye she handed me the eye occluder to place over my non-functioning eye. I asked her why she was doing this as it served no function but she clearly did not understand the question. It took nearly a full minute for me to explain to her how pointless using this occluder was. It was rewarding to see the veils of habit lift when she finally grokked my point.
As for the article... it seems like a valid application of technology. Relevant to my anecdote, some doctors/diagnosticians/scientists/scholars are too entrenched in habits... they only see what they expect to see. The accident that led to my loss of vision was impossible to miss, but its seriousness was initially overlooked by at least two professionals.
Is the trained model available?
