This gallery is a collection of images of faces that evoke an uncanny valley reaction.

This has been determined either from my subjective experience while looking at them, or from nominations from blog readers.

It is a collection gathered to inform my UV research, which has two aims in this phase of the project:

1. Which aspects of faces particularly elicit the uncanny valley effect?
2. What emotions characterize the uncanny valley effect?

Please contact me if you would like to contribute an image that you find particularly uncanny.
