Pupil Dilations Reflect Why Rembrandt Biased Female Portraits Leftward and Males Rightward
Portrait painters are experts at examining faces and since emotional content may be expressed differently on each side of the face, consider that Rembrandt biased his male portraits to show their right-cheek more often and female portraits to show their left-cheek more often. This raises questions regarding the emotional significance of such biased positions. I presented rightward and leftward ...
متن کاملHemispheric laterality measured in Rembrandt's portraits using pupil diameter and aesthetic verbal judgements.
Eckhard Hess claimed that pupils dilate to pleasant images and constrict to unpleasant images. However, his work was confounded since his image's luminances and contrasts across conditions were inconsistent. We overcome this limitation and suggest a new, promising methodology for research in this area. We presented rightward or leftward facing male and female portraits by Rembrandt to observers...
متن کاملPortrait Hemispheric Laterality Measured Using Pupil Diameter and Aesthetic Judgments
Eckhard Hess’s claim that pupils dilate to pleasant images and constrict to unpleasant images was confounded because of inconsistent contrasts and luminances across his images. Building upon the work of Powell and Schirillo (2011) that explored multiple portraits by Rembrandt, we offer a new and promising methodology that overcomes this limitation. We presented leftwardor rightward-facing femal...
متن کاملFractal images induce fractal pupil dilations and constrictions.
Fractals are self-similar structures or patterns that repeat at increasingly fine magnifications. Research has revealed fractal patterns in many natural and physiological processes. This article investigates pupillary size over time to determine if their oscillations demonstrate a fractal pattern. We predict that pupil size over time will fluctuate in a fractal manner and this may be due to eit...
متن کاملStriatal gray matter loss in Huntington's disease is leftward biased.
In Huntington's disease (HD), the distribution of pathological changes throughout the brain is incompletely understood. Some studies have identified leftward-biased lateralization, whereas others did not. We performed magnetic resonance imaging and a voxel-based asymmetry analysis in 44 right-handed HD gene carriers (presymptomatic, n = 5; stage I, n = 28; stage II, n = 11) and 44 right-handed ...
