Body size and shape misperception and visual adaptation: An overview of an emerging research paradigm [PDF]
Journal of International Medical Research, 2017 Although body size and shape misperception (BSSM) is a common feature of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and muscle dysmorphia, little is known about its underlying neural mechanisms. Recently, a new approach has emerged, based on the long-established non-invasive technique of perceptual adaptation, which allows for inferences about the structure of ...

Mirror exposure following visual body-size adaptation does not affect own body image
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Prolonged visual exposure to large bodies produces a thinning aftereffect on subsequently seen bodies, and vice versa. This visual adaptation effect could contribute to the link between media exposure and body shape misperception.

Looking at the Figures: Visual Adaptation as a Mechanism for Body-Size and -Shape Misperception [PDF]
Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2019 Many individuals experience body-size and -shape misperception (BSSM). Body-size overestimation is associated with body dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, and the development of eating disorders in individuals who desire to be thinner. Similar symptoms have been noted for those who underestimate their muscularity.

Repeated visual adaptation induces persistent behavioral and neural biases in body size perception [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Body size and shape misperception, notably body size overestimation, is prevalent among young people. It has been proposed that such a bias may stem from adaptation aftereffects caused by exposures to distorted bodies, yet whether adaptation can

Gender and the Body Size Aftereffect: Implications for Neural Processing [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Prolonged exposure to wide (thin) bodies causes a perceptual aftereffect such that subsequently viewed bodies appear thinner (wider) than they actually are. This phenomenon is known as visual adaptation.
