Most people believe that the way we see things is affected by how we feel emotionally.

Does our mood really change what we see or do individuals with certain genetic traits always tend to see things differently, regardless of their mood?

Earlier research suggested that people with bipolar mood disorder might alternate their perception more slowly when looking at ambiguous figures. However, we find that, when bipolars' mood is stable, their perception is very similar to that of people with no psychiatric history.

Our next step is to look directly at how mood changes may affect perception of ambiguous figures.
