Comparison of different colour stimuli between each other has shown that the whole quantity of colours is projected onto the surface of a sphere in a four-dimensional space. Geometric distances between the points representing colours are directly proportional to subjective differences between the colours. Information on the perceptible colours is recorded in the long-term memory. Traces of the colour memory form a mnemic space isomorphous to a perceptive colour space. Traces of the colour memory are connected by means of two-way bonds with symbol representation of colours which form a semantic colour space. Analysis of subjective differences between the colour names has shown that the terms of colours are represented by points on the surface of a hypersphere in a four-dimensional space. Colour stimuli being reflected at the perceptive, mnemic and semantic levels become an act of consciousness with participation of the activating brain systems.
对不同颜色刺激之间的相互比较表明,整个颜色量在四维空间中投射到一个球体表面。代表颜色的点之间的几何距离与颜色之间的主观差异成正比。关于可感知颜色的信息记录在长期记忆中。颜色记忆的痕迹形成一个与感知颜色空间同构的记忆空间。颜色记忆的痕迹通过双向联系与颜色的符号表示相连,这些颜色符号表示形成一个语义颜色空间。对颜色名称之间主观差异的分析表明,颜色术语由四维空间中超球体表面的点表示。在感知、记忆和语义层面被反映的颜色刺激,在激活的大脑系统参与下成为一种意识行为。
