S. Ramachandran and D. Roger-Ramachandran, published in <span style="font-style: italic;">Scientific American Mind</span> June/July 2006 issue, people have found the secret of Mona Lisa's mysterious smile.<br /><br />The smile is mysterious because it is elusive. At first you think she is smiling, but when your gaze is more fixed, the smile disappears.<br /><br />Neurologist <a href="http://neuro.med.harvard.edu/site/faculty/livingstone.html">Margaret Livingstone</a> of Harvard Medical School did a frequency analysis of Mona Lisa. She decomposed it into low- and high-frequency components. It is revealled that the lower the frequency, the clearer the smile. Thus everything's clear.<br /><br /><center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2120/3160/1600/monalisa.0.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2120/3160/320/monalisa.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />(From left to right: lowest, low, and high frequency)<br /></center><br />This could be a really interesting project in an introductory numerical analysis or image processing course. I should try it some time myself.<br /><br />btw, this also reminds me of things like 面相, or phrases like 皮笑肉不笑. So these are just composition of opposite facial expressions in different frequencies.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29620725-115014943881536396?l=xinweiyu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Xinwei Yuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04556176093735241331noreply@blogger.com0
