Abstract

Communication between one human and another is the hallmark of our species. According to neuropsychology, the human face is the primary tool in human communication among all social communication instruments (Perry et. al., 1998). One of the most important pieces of information that the human face carries may be the identity. By recognizing the identity of a person, we can feel comfortable with familiar faces, sometimes uncomfortable with unfamiliar ones (as when a baby cries when a strange face shows up), and recall our memories of conversations with the person, which brings rich backgrounds and context information for smooth conversation.
