The Mona Lisa effect: Is 'our' Lisa fame or fake?. Carbon, C., C. & Leder, H. Perception, 35(3):411-414, 2006. abstract bibtex This demonstration uses one of the most famous human faces, the portrait of Mona Lisa, La Gioconda, by Leonardo da Vinci. Usually, we have a very accurate and stable representation of the exact configuration of such a familiar face. Typically, we are able to rapidly recognize even subtle configural changes. However, here we show that the exposure of specific alterations performed on a familiar face substantially reduces this ability even over a time period of 80 minutes. This demonstration illustrates the flexibility of the perceptual system and adaptation to new information.
