ScienceDaily (Aug. 22, 2008) — Researchers have discovered that our society can influence the way we recognise other people's faces.
Because face recognition is effortlessly achieved by people from all different cultures it was considered to be a basic mechanism universal among humans. However, by using analyses inspired by novel brain imaging technology, researchers at the University of Glasgow have discovered that cultural differences cause us to look at faces differently.
