Looking at Van Goghās Starry Night, we see not only its content (a French village beneath a night sky) but also its *style*. How does that work? How do we see style?. In @NatureHumBehav, @chazfirestone & I take an experimental approach to style perception!

Is it possible to manipulate a high-level visual property while holding ~all low-level visual properties constant?. āNo!ā, you say. Allow @talboger to show you otherwise! Now in press @CurrentBiology . šš.
On the left is a rabbit. On the right is an elephant. But guess what: Theyāre the *same image* rotated 90Ā°!. In @currentbiology, @chazfirestone & I show how these imagesāknown as āvisual anagramsāācan help solve a longstanding problem in cognitive science.

Day 1: Toddler gets splinter in finger. Night 1: Parents try in vain to tweeze it out (tears). Day 2: Splinter falls out on its own, unbeknownst to toddler or parents. Night 2: Discover splinter is gone, toddler isā¦devastated that we donāt get to have tweezer time again (tears).
