Scientists measured the brain activity of people trying to discern real from synthetic faces.
How do police forces make artificially aged images of people who have been missing for years?
People often struggle to distinguish between real faces and artificial ones made by a computer.
We rely on the spatial arrangement of facial features to process faces, and wearing masks interferes with that — especially for children.
