PaulS Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Is there alternate suggestions to what you often hear that the big eyes in this art are a result of earlier alien visitations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minsocal Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Within the human brain there is a structure called the amygdala. A large portion of this stucture is dedicated to reading cues from the facial expressions of others, particularly the eyes. These cues are relayed to the emotional processing center of the brain. I have seen videos of new born infants. When they are handed to their mothers they instantly turn their gaze to the mothers face and eyes. It is quite touching to watch. When an infant is handed to the father, it will not seek facial contact but reach for the fathers hand and grasp the little finger.
