Fascinating Flash Face Effect

I guess this is a lot to do with the way peripheral vision works. You keep seeing really ugly faces but everytime you look you see they aren`t at all!

We must be looking at a different illusion.
Seemed a bit too fast for me and wasn`t getting to focus on faces much but did seem a bit ugly, so started watching one side then the other.

Some are nice faces but there are loads in there that are ugly as hell and look more CGI than real faces.

It`s all to do with the speed your brain processes your peripheral vision. It gives priority to processing your central vision, and peripheral vision only looks for (potentially threatening) movement. When you stare at the cross, your peripheral vision processes a mixture of all the faces. I think the ugly thing also has something to do with your brain registering faces which could be in trouble - alarmed or otherwise scared.

I WAS staring at the crosshair and couldn`t see any focus to any faces hence I started to watch one side then the other.

That`s the point - you can`t focus on any faces - your brain combines different parts of faces so they effectively distort and look rather grotesque - often with larger eyes than the real face does.  Staring at the faces is just a sequence of normal faces.
