abstract="We investigated the familiar phenomenon of the uncanny feeling that represented people in frontal pose invariably appear to &quot;face you&quot; from wherever you stand. We deploy two different methods. The stimuli include the conventional one-a flat portrait rocking back and forth about a vertical axis-augmented with two novel variations. In one alternative, the portrait frame rotates whereas the actual portrait stays motionless and fronto-parallel; in the other, we replace the (flat!) portrait with a volumetric object. These variations yield exactly the same optical stimulation in frontal view, but become grossly different in very oblique views. We also let participants sample their momentary awareness through &quot;gauge object&quot; settings in static displays. From our results, we conclude that the psychogenesis of visual awareness maintains a number-at least two, but most likely more-of distinct spatial frameworks simultaneously involving &quot;cue-scission.&quot; Cues may be effective in one of these spatial frameworks but ineffective or functionally different in other ones.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
