Sex Differences in Categorical Adaptation for Faces and Chinese Characters during Early Perceptual Processing.

abstract：:Geometrical illusions are known through a small core of classical illusions that were discovered in the second half of the nineteenth century. Most experimental studies and most theoretical discussions revolve around this core of illusions, as though all other illusions were obvious variants of these. Yet, many illusi...
