We’re launching India’s first large-scale study on face perception
Do you often struggle to recognize faces, even familiar ones? Or do you never forget a face?
👉 Take the test now!

Van iedereen zou ergens op aarde een kopie rondlopen. Hoe bepaal je eigenlijk of twee mensen dubbelgangers zijn? En lijken die genetische dan ook op elkaar? Heerlijk onderwerp om eens in te duiken, vandaag staat het resultaat in de @volkskrant. volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/als…

Can you match the face below with one of the faces on the right easily? Then you might be a super-recognizer! Researchers at @unil & University of Tübingen tested super-recognizers with police materials. Learn more: sciencejournalforkids.org/ar… @maren_mayer2 @MeikeRamon @CarlaUnil

6y ago @polizeiberlin contacted me & together we developed beSure® - a bespoke tool for practitioners to find #SuperRecognizers.
Read our preprint comparing beSure® to lab-based procedures for SR identification - feedback welcome!

🚨There's different types of expertise in facial recognition 🚨
We tested #DeepNeuralNetworks, #SuperRecognizers & #ForensicExaminers from 14 countries & found:
👉#AI human expert = highest accuracy 👈

I Never Forget a Face: The Science of #SuperRecognizers’ Amazing Feats of Recognition
Super recognizers focus less on the eye region and distribute their gaze more evenly than typical viewers, extracting more information from other #FacialFeatures.

A bit later than originally planned, but it’s done!
Now in press: Our book describing how we identify #SuperRecognizers for #policing using authentic material and scientific procedures.

So, @SimonRjosk and I are officially writing a book. The topic justifies an (overly) ambitious schedule. More info in June

Characteristic fixation biases in #SuperRecognizers
“… superiority for face identity processing is accompanied by early fixation biases toward faces & preferred saccadic landing positions close to the theoretical optimum for face identification.”
