Our results consistently showed that the illusion was significantly disrupted with location shifts of the faces. We also look at how the illusion develops over time, something that hasn't been looked closely before.

FFDE is a fun illusion where peripherally presented faces start looking monstrous. Here we test whether this illusion can be transferred to new locations during the face streams. Importantly, we use joysticks so that people can continuously rate how weird the faces get, capturing the whole dynamics.

In this paper we show that working memory performances for both real-world objects and colored circles reliably correlate with individual differences in fluid intelligence but not with crystallized intelligence measures.

Interestingly, we also found a broad and large difference in non-lateralized ERP waveforms between the two conditions during both encoding and delay periods. While more research will be needed to fully understand this novel component, this appears to robustly distinguish the two types of stimuli. 7/

We also examined how stable the neural activity patterns are over time by adopting a cross-temporal pattern similarity analysis. The results showed that neural stability arises more rapidly when remembering features of real-world objects. 6/

Our results showed enlarged and more spread-out CDA when colors were encoded and remembered as parts of real-world objects, suggesting expansion in involvement of active working memory storage. 5/

In the experiment, participants viewed and remembered colors of either intact real-world objects or scrambled objects. Critically, only colors were relevant features in the task and the identities of objects were not asked throughout the experiment. 4/
