Stare at the red dot: 10
Face Distortion
Stare at the red dot on the 'thin' face. When it switches to the normal face, does the normal face look incredibly wide/fat?
Face Adaptation
🥴 High-Level Adaptation▼
This illusion proves that adaptation doesn't just happen in the eyes (retina) but deep in the brain. The **Fusiform Face Area (FFA)** adapts to the specific configuration of features (e.g., "narrow eyes"). When the stimulus returns to neutral, your brain overcompensates, making the neutral face appear "wide".
