Ag nanoparticles exhibit various colors depending on their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Based on this phenomenon, Ag deposition-based electrochromic devices can represent various optical states in a single device such as the three primary colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow), silver mirror, black and transparent. A control of the morphology of Ag nanoparticles can lead to dramatic changes in color, as their size and shape influence the LSPR band. In this research, we focused on the diffusion rate of Ag ions when Ag nanoparticles are electrochemically deposited. Consequently, well-isolated Ag nanoparticles were obtained due to the slow growth rate by using an electrolyte with a low concentration of Ag ions, resulting in an improvement in the color quality of cyan and magenta. Additionally, spherical Ag nanoparticles were deposited in the same device by optimizing their voltage application conditions, which represented yellow and green colors. In particular, green coloration is a unique phenomenon because it can appear by the combination of two absorption peaks of LSPR. As a result of investigating the finite-difference time-domain method, it was observed that the LSPR band in the long wavelength region was originated from the effects of the connection between Ag particles.

Non-destructive color sensors are widely applied for rapid analysis of various biological and healthcare point-of-care applications. However, existing red, green, blue (RGB)-based color sensor systems, relying on the conversion to human-perceptible color spaces like hue, saturation, lightness (HSL), hue, saturation, value (HSV), as well as cyan, magenta, yellow, key (CMYK) and the CIE L*a*b* (CIELAB) exhibit limitations compared to spectroscopic methods. The integration of machine learning (ML) techniques presents an opportunity to enhance data analysis and interpretation, enabling insights discovery, prediction, process automation, and decision-making.

This study delves deeply into exploring the artistic value of traditional Chinese painting (TCP) and aims to bridge the gap between its fundamental characteristics and the realm of human emotions. To achieve this, a novel convolutional neural network (CNN)-based classification model for TCP emotions is proposed. By thoroughly analyzing the distinct emotional mapping relationships inherent in TCP, a comprehensive framework is developed.

Background: Understanding the causes and mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal pain is crucial for developing effective treatments and improving patient outcomes. Self-report measures, such as the Pain Drawing Scale, involve individuals rating their level of pain on a scale. In this technique, individuals color the area where they experience pain, and the resulting picture is rated based on the depicted pain intensity.

In humans, the eye pupils respond to both physical light sensed by the retina and mental representations of light produced by the brain. Notably, our pupils constrict when a visual stimulus is illusorily perceived brighter, even if retinal illumination is constant. However, it remains unclear whether such perceptual penetrability of pupil responses is an epiphenomenon unique to humans or whether it represents an adaptive mechanism shared with other animals to anticipate variations in retinal illumination between successive eye fixations.
