"Have we met?; As facial recognition technology advances, new research sheds light on how we 'read' faces" by Colin Nickerson, Globe Correspondent | January 19, 2009
Men are red, women are green, the nose may be key to "reading" a face, and ordinary eyebrows may be what makes a face recognizable, rather than, say, provocatively bee-stung lips or baby blues.
I'm an autumn, what season are you? Pfffffftttt!!!!
Those insights into how we "see" faces are part of the growing field of facial recognition, one of the hottest realms in psychology and neural science....
Oh, I thought it was the drinking.
The focus on faces at universities and other research centers is far from purely academic. In the age of terrorism, police and intelligence agencies are clamoring for new technologies that can scan and accurately identify faces - winnow a "wanted" individual from the anonymous airport crowd, or a terrorist scoping out public buildings.
That's the COST of a LIE to your FREEDOM, America! HOW MUCH LONGER must we live with the LIE of "terrorism" -- a GOVERNMENT CREATED, FUNDED, and CONTROLLED PHENOMENA?
Of course, the MSM piece NEVER GETS back to the TYRANNY!
"Understanding how the brain works is the greatest mystery facing us in this century," said Garrison W. Cottrell, professor of computer science at the University of California in San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering. "And facial recognition is among the greatest challenges to understanding the brain."
Pffft! Can you understand that, quacker?
In pursuit of answers, psychologists and brain scientists have come up with some unexpected data. Michael J. Tarr, codirector of Brown University's Center for Vision Research, recently published research in the journal Psychological Science that showed males have more reddish skin while women's skin has a greenish cast.
That's because womens' blood cells are based on copper not iron -- you know, like Mr. Spock!!!
"The coloration is subtle, but actual - not just a trick of the mind or matter of perception. Men are redder, on average; women greener," Tarr said. "Color information is very robust."
You know what else is "robust," readers?
The noxious gas of my SBD: PFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT!!!
