Optical Illusion On a Human Face

in psychology •  7 years ago 

Since I took up live poker seriously I have been more attuned to deciphering facial expressions and body language.

It's a fascinating field and like many other facets of life it's hard to separate the objective reality from the subjective perception.

For example, look at these two faces.

These are the same photo but the left one is lighter than the right one.

Which photo do you think looks more feminine?

This interesting article from the University of Sydney explains why most of us come up with the same answer.
