Dear Colleagues,
We are conducting a meta-analysis on the body inversion effect, which reflects the
difference in recognition between upright and inverted body stimuli. Our goal is to
provide a summary of this effect, including the magnitude and moderating factors that
influence the effect.We are seeking unpublished data from studies that meet the following
criteria:
1. Neurotypical participants completed a visual body perception/recognition task that
include upright and inverted conditions.
2. Body stimuli are human bodies (either computer generated or real images)
3. Outcome measures of perception/recognition were collected for both upright and
inverted conditions. These may include behavioral accuracy (% correct, hit rate),
electrophysiological data (e.g., N170 signal), or neuroimaging data.
If you have data that fit these criteria and you would like to share your data to be
included in our synthesis, please contact Flora Oswald
(feo5020@psu.edu<mailto:feo5020@psu.edu>) by October 18, 2021.
Thank you and best wishes,
Flora Oswald
