Constant-brightness surfaces generated by several color-difference formulas.

We have addressed the question of whether, in addition to being processed separately, colour and motion are also perceived separately. We varied continuously the colour and direction of motion of an abstract pattern of squares on a computer screen, and asked subjects to pair the colour of the pattern to its direction of motion. The results showed that subjects misbind the colour and the direction of motion because colour and motion are perceived separately and at different times, colour being perceived first. Hence the brain binds visual attributes that are perceived together, rather than ones that occur together in real time.

In vivo color stability of resin-veneered telescopic dentures: a double blind pilot study.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Discoloration is a major disadvantage of resin veneers on telescopic dentures. In vitro color measurements with large and flat samples of resin veneer composites have been published, but no in vivo data are available. PURPOSE: This study describes the discoloration of resin veneers in vivo by use of spectrophotometry and the L*a*b* system of the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE). METHODS: In a clinical evaluation of this technique, two composite veneer materials were compared in 18 patients. RESULTS: Both brands discolored significantly after 1 year. While L* and a* were not changed significantly, b* and the total color difference delta E increased by approximately 2 units each year. No statistically significant differences were found between the materials.
