Yes, that is cool. Now watch it again and see if you agree with me, that the most normal-looking faces tend to be those that occur around the mid-point of the morphing process.

Was I the only one reminded of the old motivational psychology studies in which enlarged pupils in pictures of women motivated men into thinking that they were more attractive because larger pupils were a sign of sexual interest? Interesting that almost all of the eyes that you could see in these pictures conveyed the impression of enlarged pupils. No wonder women used belladonna back in the day to enlarge their pupils to make themselves appear more beautiful.
