The Nose Knows: Two Fixation Points Needed for Face Recognition
Many of us are bad at remembering names but we are very quick to point out that at least we never forget a face. view more (2008-10-21)
Recognition at last
A rapid but superior method for computerized face recognition could revolutionize security systems especially if it can see through disguises. view more (2009-07-08)
'Super-recognizers,' with extraordinary face recognition ability, never forget a face
Some people say they never forget a face, a claim now bolstered by psychologists at Harvard University who've discovered a group they call "super-recognizers": those who can easily recognize someone they met in passing, even many years later. view more (2009-05-20)
Me, My Left Brain and I: Recognising yourself and others
Whereas the right side of the brain seems to be used for identifying other people's faces, the left side of the brain is used when we recognise our own. Reports out from psychologists today suggest that this means the right side of the brain is used to perceive others and the left side of the brain is specialised for processing the self. view more (2004-04-19)
Improving security with face recognition technology
A number of U.S. states now use facial recognition technology when issuing drivers licenses. Similar methods are also used to grant access to buildings and to verify the identities of international travelers. Historically, obtaining accurate results with this type of technology has been a time intensive activity. view more (2009-11-10)
Gender and age can be determined from face silhouettes
A new study published in Journal of Vision demonstrates that face silhouettes are visually processed much like regular face stimuli and provide enough information to determine traits about the subject including age and gender. view more (2007-03-22)
Face recognition: nurture not nature
Reporting in the open-access journal PLoS ONE on August 20, researchers have discovered that our society can influence the way we recognise other people's faces. view more (2008-08-20)
Study Suggests Left-Side Bias in Visual Expertise
Facial recognition is not as automatic as it may seem. Researchers have identified specific areas in the brain devoted solely to picking out faces among other objects we encounter. view more (2009-04-29)
Face facts: People don't stand out in crowds
Why is it difficult to pick out even a familiar face in a crowd? We all experience this, but the phenomenon has been poorly understood until now. view more (2008-01-22)
Babies recognise individual monkey faces
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have shown that babies can be taught to distinguish between different monkey faces in the same way that they distinguish individual human faces. The team had previously demonstrated that babies begin life with a general ability to distinguish faces, regardless of species, but that this ability becomes... view more... (2005-04-19)
New insight into how bees see
New research from Monash University bee researcher Adrian Dyer could lead to improved artificial intelligence systems and computer programs for facial recognition. view more (2009-01-23)
More than just pretty faces for this brain region, says Stanford researcher
You'll find more than faces in these places. Stanford University researchers have taken the closest look yet at a region of the brain that was thought to be devoted solely to face recognition and discovered that this particular patchwork of neurons does much more: It also responds to such objects as cars, animals and sculptures. view more (2006-08-30)
First large-scale evaluation of iris recognition under way
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced that it is running the Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE), the first large-scale evaluation of iris recognition. view more (2005-08-11)
Do I know you? QBI researchers identify woman's struggle to recognize new faces
The woman's condition, known as prosopamnesia, is extremely rare and has only been found in a handful of people around the world, according to University of Queensland cognitive neuroscientist Professor Jason Mattingley. view more (2007-07-24)
Abnormal face processing in toddlers with autism and developmental delays
Toddlers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often have difficulty focusing on people's faces and making eye contact, but a new study by Yale School of Medicine researchers found that these same toddlers do not have difficulty looking at photographs of faces. view more (2007-05-04)
Jobs for the boys? Differences between male and female interview strategies
Female candidates present themselves more effectively than males in face-to-face interviews but the reverse is true in telephone-based interviews, according to new research by Dr Jo Silvester and colleagues, presented today, Thursday 29 March, to The British Psychological Society’s Centenary Annual Conference held at the SECC, Glasgow. The... view more... (2001-03-26)
Naps with rapid eye movement sleep increase receptiveness to positive emotion
Naps with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep refresh the brain's empathetic sensitivity for evaluating human emotions by decreasing a negative bias and amplifying recognition of positive emotions. view more (2009-06-10)
Study evaluates transcription accuracy in men and women
There is a significantly higher rate of transcription error in women compared to men when using commercial voice recognition applications, according to a recent study. view more (2007-05-07)
UC San Diego computer scientist turns his face into a remote control
A computer science Ph.D. student can turn his face into a remote control that speeds and slows video playback. The proof-of-concept demonstration is part of a larger project to use automated facial expression recognition to make robots more effective teachers. view more (2008-06-25)
Facing the end of unwanted e-mails
An inventive idea from Dr Chris Solomon of the School of Physical Sciences at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC) has beaten top International competition and won first prize in the prestigious European Digital Information Contents (DICON) competition. Dr Solomon who has an active research programme in forensic imaging and a longstanding... view more... (2002-03-26)
