Some researchers{{Who|date=August 2009}} broadly construe android science to include all the effects of engineered human likeness, such as the impact of humanlike robots on society or the study of the relationship between [[anthropomorphism]] and human perception. The latter relates to an observation made by [[Masahiro Mori]] that human beings are more sensitive to deviations from humanlike behavior or appearance in near-human forms. Mori refers to this phenomenon as the [[uncanny valley]].<ref>Mori, M. (1970). Bukimi no tani (The uncanny valley; K. F. MacDorman & T. Minato, Trans.). ''Energy, 7''(4), 33–35.</ref> In android science this heightened sensitivity is seen as a diagnostic tool for enhancing the human likeness of an android.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}
