When cycling through the faces on a  computer screen, each face seems to become a caricature of itself and  some faces appear highly deformed, even grotesque. The degree of  distortion is greatest for faces that deviate from the others in the set  on a particular dimension (eg if a person has a large forehead, it  looks particularly large). This new method of image presentation, based  on alignment and speed, could provide a useful tool for investigating  contrastive distortion effects and face adaptation.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perceptionweb.com\/abstract.cgi?id=p6968\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read More about Flash Face Distortion<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>[ad#img]<br \/>\n[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5819584\/this-weird-optical-illusion-turns-beautiful-girls-into-horrible-monsters\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Put two normal looking person on left and right.
