The book explores the phenomenon known as the Illusion of Multiple Faces (IMF), which involves the perception of changing facial features in certain visual conditions. This scientific study, conducted over nearly three decades, documents a series of experiments and reflections on the conditions under which this illusion occurs and the variables influencing it. The research was carried out by the Visual Perception Laboratory at the Federal University of Pernambuco, led by Maria Lúcia de Bustamante Simas. It involved a comprehensive analysis, including psychophysical experiments and advanced imaging techniques, to understand the cognitive and visual processes behind the IMF. The book is intended for an audience interested in visual perception and cognitive psychology, providing insights into the complexities of facial recognition and perception. |
