Synesthesia is a rare condition in which stimulation in one modality leads to a secondary experience in another sensory modality. Varying accounts attribute the condition to either neuroanatomical differences between the synesthetes and non-synesthetes or functional differences in how sensory brain regions interact. This study employed voxel-based morphometry to examine whether synesthetes who ...

The increasing popularity of animes makes it vulnerable to unwanted usages like copyright violations and pornography. That’s why, we need to develop a method to detect and recognize animation characters. Skin detection is one of the most important steps in this way. Though there are some methods to detect human skin color, but those methods do not work properly for anime characters. Anime skin ...

Hyperpigmentation affects people globally with negative psychological impacts. Piper betle L. leaf (PBL) extract has many benefits including skin lightening which may reduce hyperpigmentation. The objective of this study was to develop an effective skin-lightening cream containing PBL ideal characteristics. A formulation base and prepared characterized by centrifugation, particle size zeta pote...

We demonstrated unconscious learning of task-irrelevant perceptual regularities in a Serial Reaction Time (SRT) task in both visual and auditory domains. Participants were required to respond to different letters ('F' or 'J', experiment 1) or syllables ('can' or 'you', experiment 2) which occurred in random order. Unbeknownst to participants, the color (red, green, blue or yellow) of the two le...

Assessing the genetic contribution of Neanderthals to non-disease phenotypes in modern humans has been difficult because of the absence of large cohorts for which common phenotype information is available. Using baseline phenotypes collected for 112,000 individuals by the UK Biobank, we can now elaborate on previous findings that identified associations between signatures of positive selection ...

Face detection is a challenging task in image processing field. Now days face detection is used in many application which requires identification and verification. The major application areas of face detection are biometric field, crowd surveillance, photography and many security related areas. Issue with face detection is that it should perform well in any condition such as illumination, color...

To print continuous tone images, Electrophotographic (EP) printer uses halftoning technique. Image halftoning prints the image as matrix of dots which are halftone patterns those are hardly perceived by human eyes. So scanned images obtained from such hard printed copies are normally affected by screen like artifacts and moiré patterns. Scanned color Image improvement using Image descreening te...

Effective visualization of uncertainty associated with data has many applications in science and engineering. Visualization of a 3D scalar data set that displays detailed variations in uncertainty as well as in data is a challenging problem. We explore a novel approach to address the problem using High Dynamic Range (HDR) image maps. We use a transfer function that maps each data point to a col...
