The box-circle illusion
Perception. 2023 Jul 10:3010066231186557. doi: 10.1177/03010066231186557. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA novel geometrical optical illusion is reported in this article: the horizontal distances of the contextual structures distort the perceived vertical positions of observed objects. Specifically, the illusion manifests in the form of connected boxes of varying widths but equal heights, each containing a circle at the center. Despite identical vertical positioning of the circles, they appear misaligned. The illusion diminishes when the boxes are removed. Potential underlying mechanisms are discussed.PMID:37427447 | DOI:10...

Emotion category-modulated interpretation bias in perceiving ambiguous facial expressions
Perception. 2023 Jul 10:3010066231186936. doi: 10.1177/03010066231186936. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn contrast to prototypical facial expressions, we show less perceptual tolerance in perceiving vague expressions by demonstrating an interpretation bias, such as more frequent perception of anger or happiness when categorizing ambiguous expressions of angry and happy faces that are morphed in different proportions and displayed under high- or low-quality conditions. However, it remains unclear whether this interpretation bias is specific to emotion categories or reflects a general negativity versus positivity bias and w...
