In 1957, Craig Mooney published a set of human face stimuli to study perceptual closure: the formation of a coherent percept on the basis of minimal visual information. Images of this type, now known as "Mooney faces", are widely used in cognitive psychology and neuroscience because they offer a means of inducing variable perception with constant visuo-spatial characteristics (they are often not perceived as faces if viewed upside down). Mooney's original set of 40 stimuli has been employed in several studies. However, it is often necessary to use a much larger stimulus set. We created a new set of over 500 Mooney faces and tested them on a cohort of human observers. We present the results of our tests here, and make the stimuli freely available via the internet. Our test results can be used to select subsets of the stimuli that are most suited for a given experimental purpose.
1957 年，Craig Mooney 发布了一组人类面孔刺激物，用于研究感知闭合：基于最少的视觉信息形成一个连贯的感知。这种类型的图像，现在被称为“Mooney 面孔”，在认知心理学和神经科学中被广泛使用，因为它们提供了一种用恒定的视空间特征诱导可变感知的方法（如果颠倒过来看，它们通常不被视为面孔）。Mooney 的原始 40 个刺激物已被用于多项研究。然而，通常需要使用更大的刺激物集。我们创建了一个超过 500 个 Mooney 面孔的新集合，并在一组人类观察者身上对其进行了测试。我们在这里展示了我们的测试结果，并通过互联网免费提供这些刺激物。我们的测试结果可用于选择最适合特定实验目的的刺激物子集。
