I saw this before but in the context of "average" faces instead of celebrities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM6lGNhPujE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM6lG

Both videos (with and without celebs) were pretty trippy.
Maybe it is just me but I don't really see the effect on Halle Berry, Kevin Bacon or Hugh Laurie... they all seems to look pretty much the same to me with or without the face flashing.
- droithomme 14y agoThanks for that, I can see it there, they look like monsters. In the celebrity one I didn't see it at all. The one you link to the faces seem to stay aligned better and more consistent dimensions than with the celebrity version. That may be why it worked better.
- bluedanieru 14y agoIt is trippy in a pretty literal sense. I'd wager this is the same mechanism that screws up faces for you when you take psychedelic drugs, except with that you can be staring right at the face and still see it that way. The effect is very similar. Babies have to learn to interpret human faces so that they ignore the parts that don't matter and focus only on what typically distinguishes them. They manage to do it pretty quickly, but perhaps this is how we see faces for the first few days after we're born.
