A user of an avatarship could see what is going

A user of an avatarship could see what is going on by a different way. Perhaps she will look to the right side to see if there are people nearby to look at.

Although the study was conducted by researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, it will be published online next year in the Journal of Computational Cognitive Sciences.

The research was funded by the National Science Foundation (grants R01NS08736 and R01NS093274, and in 2010 NSF awarded a grant to IBM Research for the research that led to this study).

Researchers analyzed social media use by people who interact with computer games in the past. They found that people who use social media more frequently are more likely to engage in the Mona Lisa effect.

"This suggests that social media participation may be linked to the Mona Lisa effect, as people who use social media more frequently are more likely to play games with virtual characters and play with the Mona Lisa," the researchers wrote. "We think this is a good time to investigate the relationship between game players' behavior and their Mona Lisa appearance."

There's some skepticism surrounding the idea that people who play the Mona Lisa more often, especially those who are older, have more Mona Lisa experience. Some studies have shown that a person's physical appearance can be influenced by social media, such as the way they interact with others in life. The authors cite the fact that the Mona Lisa phenomenon has been linked with autism spectrum disorders, including Tourette's syndrome, and that researchers may be missing the point: "The Mona Lisa effect may be a potential marker for the development of a new autism spectrum disorder. It may have positive or negative connotations, but it's not clear if it will lead to a change in behavior."

In other words, it may be possible for people to show up at the Mona Lisa and have an instant view of the artwork and the world around them.

"This research shows that there are things we can do to help our social media use be more authentic and memorable," said Dr. Richard N. Sauter, director of the Research Center at Bielefeld University's Center for Social Media Research. "We need to start looking at how our social media use can improve our ability to connect with other people who are engaging with our work social media."
