Dermatologist Talks: Science of Beauty

The Strange-Face-in-the-Mirror Illusion is an unexplained phenomenon where  after staring at your reflection in a dimly lit room your face may begin to morph, distort or even turn into a monstrous creature, leaving you unsettled and questioning what you see. Join me, board-certified dermatologist Dr Teo Wan Lin as I unravel mysterious perceptual phenomena on this brand new season of Dermatologist Talks: Science of Beauty, as part of our quest to understand the science behind perception and how we truly see ourselves.
