Abstract:
Categorical perception is a sophisticated mechanism which allows our visual system to discriminate between highly similar objects. Perceptually, physical differences between groups of objects are enhanced as compared to equal-sized differences within a group of objects, thus creating clear boundaries between groups of items. Humans are expert in face recognition. Does a categorical perception mechanism help us to differentiate between male and female faces?
Using a three-dimensional morphing technique, we built an average.
