Artificial Networks Shed Light on Human Face Recognition

Artificial Networks Shed Light on Human Face Recognition

Our brains are so primed to recognize faces – or to tell people apart – that we rarely even stop to think about it, but what happens in the brain when it engages in such recognition is still far from understood. In a new study reported today in Nature Communications, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have shed new light on this issue
