The Thatcher illusion has also been useful in revealing the psychology of face recognition. Typically, experiments using the Thatcher illusion look at the time required to see the inconsistent features either upright or inverted. [7] Such measures have been used to determine the nature of the processing of holistic facial images. [8]
Animals are known to observe many of the same optical illusions as humans do, but this was the first study to demonstrate that the Jastrow illusion is also experienced by chimpanzees. The Fat Face illusion happens when two identical images of the same face are aligned vertically, the face at the bottom appears fatter.
Arthur "Art" Shapiro is an American vision scientist and creator of visual illusions.He is the co-editor of the Oxford Compendium of Visual Illusions. [1] He is currently a professor of psychology and computer science with the American University in Washington, D.C., and Director of the Collaborative for Applied Perceptual Research and Innovation (CAPRI).
Video modeling (VM) is a mode of teaching that uses video recording and display equipment to provide a visual model of the targeted behaviors or skill. [1] In video self-modeling (VSM), individuals observe themselves performing a behavior successfully on video, and then imitate the targeted behavior.
Video of the effect. The flashed face distortion effect is a visual illusion involving the fast-paced presentation of eye-aligned faces. [1] Faces appear grotesquely transformed while the viewer focuses on the cross midway between them. [2] [3] As with many scientific discoveries, the phenomenon was first observed by chance.
Shepard tables illusion, named for its creator Roger N. Shepard. Shepard tables (also known as the Shepard tabletop illusion) are an optical illusion first published in 1990 as "Turning the Tables," by Stanford psychologist Roger N. Shepard in his book Mind Sights, a collection of illusions that he had created. [1]
An autostereogram is a two-dimensional (2D) image that can create the optical illusion of a three-dimensional (3D) scene. Autostereograms use only one image to accomplish the effect while normal stereograms require two. The 3D scene in an autostereogram is often unrecognizable until it is viewed properly, unlike typical stereograms.
The McGurk effect is very robust; that is, knowledge about it seems to have little effect on one's perception of it. This is different from certain optical illusions, which break down once one "sees through" them. Some people, including those that have been researching the phenomenon for more than twenty years, experience the effect even when ...
