Photographs are often used to establish the identity of an individual or to verify that they are
who they claim to be. Yet, recent research shows that it is surprisingly difficult to match a …

Face masks present a new challenge to face identification (here matching) and emotion
recognition in Western cultures. Here, we present the results of three experiments that test …

The task of age transformation illustrates the change of an individual's appearance over

Recently, researchers found that the intended generalizability of (deep) face recognition
systems increases their vulnerability against attacks. In particular, the attacks based on …

Psychological studies of face recognition have typically ignored within-person variation in

Photo-ID is widely used in security settings, despite research showing that viewers find it
very difficult to match unfamiliar faces. Here we test participants with specialist experience …
