This dataset contains data from experiments carried out as part of work package 3 of the project ‘The psychophysiological basis of the preference for curvature’. It currently contains the data from the two experiments of the article "Reassessing the curvature effect in tables and chairs" published in Perception (2025). In Experiment 1, we addressed these questions by recording eye movements as participants rated their preferences for images of two types of common-use objects: tables and chairs. In Experiment 2, we limited the stimuli presentation to 84ms, as brief presentations are thought to enhance the curvature effect.

This project has been partially supported by the research project in teh Agencia Estatal de Investigación (Spanish Goverment PID2022-137512NB-I00), together with the University of the Balearic Islands and the Liverpool Hope University.
