ballzac Posted July 21, 2011 nup, I can't really tell much what they look like in my peripheral vision. I just see that they are faces, and when I look at them directly they just look like normal looking women. I wonder if there's something wrong with me. I googled it, and it seems everyone sees weird shit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted July 21, 2011 there's either something wrong with you, or everyone sees weird shit cos we're told we should? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ballzac Posted July 21, 2011 Maybe that's true but it didn't work for me because I wasn't quite sure which way around it was supposed to happen. No disrespect to women who are not endowed with supermodel genes (I'm no oil painting myself), but not all of the women in that video possess the qualities required to make the cover of Nuts magazine. When I read "Pretty girls turn ugly", I thought maybe they're meant to look pretty when you're looking at them with you're peripheral vision... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted July 21, 2011 yeah the title of the video's silly and takes no account of what the researchers happened to find. renaming the video "Flashed Face Distortion Effect" without any reference to an ideology (beauty/ugly) may be less biased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ballzac Posted July 21, 2011 Interesting that everyone seems to see 'evil' things. If it's simply an illusion due to the way we process visual information, why don't people see angels and stuff half the time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ballzac Posted July 21, 2011 I think I just worked out why...because the face is finely 'tuned' to look normal. A random deviation from that is bound to look weird, and weirdness to us has dark connotations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
