Deviation from typical organic voices best explains a vocal uncanny valley
Computers in Human Behavior ReportsThe uncanny valley describes the negative evaluation of near humanlike artificial entities. Previous research with synthetic and real voices failed to find an uncanny valley of voices. This may have been due to an incomplete selection of stimuli.

Familiar and Strange: Gender, Sex, and Love in the Uncanny Valley
Multimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2017 Early robotics research held that increased realism should result in increased positivity of the interactions between people and humanoid robots. However, this turned out to be true only to a certain point, and researchers now recognize that human ...

Exploring humanlikeness and the uncanny valley with furhat
Proceedings of the 22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents, 2022 In this paper we explore gender, perceived humanlikeness, animacy, intelligence and likeability of a female and male Furhat robot, and test for uncanny valley effects. We found no gender differences for neither user nor Furhats in perceived humanlikness or likeability, but female users rated the Furhats higher on animacy and intelligence.

A review of level-1 visual perspective-taking: potential relationship with the uncanny valley effect
Frontiers in PsychologyCalculating others' visual perspective automatically is a pivotal ability in human social communications. In the dot-perspective task, the ability is shown as a consistency effect: adults respond more slowly to judge the number of discs that they can see

Pseudo‐Haptic Feedback: Multi‐Modal Approaches to Stiffness Perception and User Experience
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Can visual deformation substitute for physical haptic feedback? In immersive VR, deformation‐based pseudo‐haptics enables stiffness discrimination comparable to wearable force feedback, while their combination yields the highest performance and presence without increasing workload.
