Understanding the facial code in the brain could help scientists study how face cells incorporate on other identifying information, such as gender, race, emotional cues and the names of familiar ...

Now after 15 years of research, a pair of scientists from Caltech may have just cracked the code for human facial recognition, and they discovered this breakthrough with the help of macaques.

How We Save Face—Researchers Crack the Brain's Facial-Recognition Code A Caltech team has deciphered the way we identify faces, re-creating what the brain sees from its electrical activity ...

A neural network that simulates the way monkeys recognise faces produces many of the idiosyncratic behaviours found in humans, says computer scientists.

The human face has 80 nodes that can be used in facial recognition, but it only takes between 14 and 22 nodes to identify a unique human face.
