The illusion was accidentally discovered by a student at the University of Queensland Sean Murphy. He studied the phenomena with the help of his colleagues Jason Tangen and Matthew Thompson.

Effect is interpreted as follows:

In the situation when the image of two faces are aligned in a way that eyes are on the same line, and you quickly switch images, our brain begins to experience  each face  through the prism of one next to it.

This leads to highlighting their differences, so otherwise pretty faces suddenly seem grotesque.
