Description:
Consists of two lines joined orthogonally, weighted on the top 1/3 of the image, with what appears to be MS Paint pencil-tool tracing behind.
Attached is the text 'here is an inflection device. Print it out, put it in a frame (cut to size, doesn't affect energy). Hang it on a wall or put on a desk, flat surface. Should be in field of vision for at least ten minutes a day. No idea what it does, but seems friendly. If you use it for a week please report back outcome.'
Initial examination reveals subjects experience paredolia showing a leftward looking 'face' spanning the full length of the longest, vertical line. The instance appears to be smiling, with a slightly out of proportion mouth and nose.
Methodology:
12 subjects were selected from random available population. Subjects are primarily caucasian, between 20 - 30 years of age, with a third of the subjects being female.
Subjects were placed in a standard room, with a table, chair, and paper. They were given a simple non-repetitive task to do (Writing, Drawing, etc.) while a replica of the item, duplicated as described, was placed on the desk, in their field of vision. The subjects were told to remain in the room for one hour, and would be called out at the end of the hour.
All of the subjects passed the initial standard 'whiteroom' test, with no abnormalities. At least one third of the group expressed a minor interest in the item, and were allowed to retain a copy of it.
Standard two-week follow up showed that of the subjects, all of them had duplicated a rough rendering of the item, and placed it in their bedroom. Eleven of the twelve subjects had mentioned duplicating Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
