the purpose of this study was to investigate the brain activation patterns in response to thehuman color preference by using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri). a total of 31 healthyhumans without color blindness were participated in this study. the brain activation was induced by viewingof eight different colors: black, gray, blue, green, earthy yellow, red, yellow and white. the q...

there is no doubt that colors are important factors in creating arts including poetry. the poets use them because of their visual beauties to show their hidden values. sometimes they go further – beyond the external features – ad use colors as symbols to express their own meaning. moreover, modern poet’s deep insight and vision are the main causes to change the colorful portrait to a bright won...

People with color-graphemic synesthesia experience vivid, reliable color upon viewing achromatic alphanumeric characters. Recent evidence indicates that synesthetic color experiences are as perceptually real as actual colors are for non-synesthetic observers. To investigate possible interactions between real and synesthetic colors, we tested two adult color-graphemic synesthetes on a pair of pe...

Identification of linear parameter-varying systems in an input-output setting is investigated, focusing on the case when the noise part of the data generating system is an additive colored noise. In the Box-Jenkins and output-error cases, it is shown that the currently available linear regression and instrumental variable methods from the literature are far from being optimal in terms of bias a...

Unlike the Metelli monochrome transparencies, when overlays and their backgrounds have chromatic content, the inferred surface colors may not always be physically realizable, and are in some sense "imaginary." In these cases, the inferred chromatic transmittance or reflectance of the overlay lies outside the RGB spectral boundaries. Using the classical Metelli configuration, we demonstrate this...

We establish a coloring theorem for successors of a singular cardinals, and use it prove that for any such cardinal μ, we have μ+ 9 [μ+]2 μ+ if and only if μ+ 9 [μ]θ for arbitrarily large θ < μ.

DNATagger is a web-based tool for coloring and editing DNA, RNA and protein sequences and alignments. It is dedicated to the visualization of protein coding sequences and also protein sequence alignments to facilitate the comprehension of evolutionary processes in sequence analysis. The distinctive feature of DNATagger is the use of codons as informative units for coloring DNA and RNA sequences...
