    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Dehghany, Soleiman (Author) ; Sayady, Hassan (Supervisor) ; Hoviat Talab, Maryam (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The research methods presented in this dissertation are the result of the confrontation between medical science and engineering science. This contrast is intended to better understand the function of the middle ear system and the inner ear cochlea through modeling and finite element analysis and the effect of hearing aid use on the middle ear and cochlear function.The research began with the creation of a three-dimensional model of the middle ear using microCT imaging. Then the finite element model of the middle human ear was implemented using the same three-dimensional model. The results of the finite element model resulting from the loading on eardurm were calculated as displacement of... 

    Design and Impacts of Virtual Reality Games on Social and Cognitive Skills of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Abbasi, Sajjad (Author) ; Taheri, Alireza (Supervisor) ; Meghdari, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder for which there is no definitive cure and it is increasing every year for people with this disorder. In the last decade, the use of virtual environment to improve the skills of people on the autism spectrum has increased. In this research, a semi-intelligent algorithm was designed for a virtual reality game that could provide a more appropriate step to the user according to the user's responses. Our focus is on designing games to strengthen the child in terms of shared attention and eye contact. In other words, we seek to create a virtual environment with the ability to intelligently adapt to interact with our user and turn it into a suitable coaching...
