@tomstafford@mastodon.online nice! I wonder if there's been a cogsci study on profile pictures. How long it takes followers to relearn the new pic? Why does the person look so different on the miniaturised version vs the enlarged?

@steveroyle@biologists.social @tomstafford@mastodon.online I keep having to change my profile pictures (and abandon my caricature) when I decide to shave off my beard. I can’t keep track of different beardless and bearded versions, never mind keep my Zwift avatar semi-realistic ;-) People find it very confusing especially those that only see me very occasionally…

@steveroyle@biologists.social well part of the answer to that second question is illustrated by my new pic - different information in different spatial frequencies
