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.

When normal faces are rapidly presented in the visual periphery, they are perceived as grotesque and distorted. This phenomenon, “The flashed-face distortion effect” (FFDE) is a powerful illusion that may reveal important properties of how faces are coded in peripheral vision.

We describe a novel face distortion effect resulting from the fast-paced presentation of eye-aligned faces. 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 flashed face distortion effect is a phenomenon whereby images of faces, presented at 4-5 Hz in the visual periphery, appear distorted. It has been hypothesized that the effect is driven by cortical, rather than retinal, components.

2024年11月1日 · Viewing a rapid sequence of face images shown in the periphery can lead to large caricature-like distortions in the perceived images, a phenomenon known as the Flashed Face Distortion Effect (FFDE). The mechanisms underlying FFDE are poorly understood.

The Flashed Face Distortion Effect (FFDE) is an illusion where faces viewed in rapid succession in the periphery are perceived as strongly distorted or caricatured (Tangen, Murphy, Thompson, 2011). The mechanisms contributing to the FFDE are largely unknown but could arise at many levels, including adaptation at both peripheral and central sites.

2023年3月26日 · When faces quickly flash in peripheral vision, they look distorted and grotesque. Studies have explored various factors influencing the "flashed face distortion effect." Although the neural...
