Facial Recognition: The Creation of Expertise
Sunday, February 8
Dr. Benjamin Balas works with infants and children to learn how we use visual information to make complex decisions about the world we see. Listen as he shares his research on how humans develop an expertise in processing faces of different racial groups, ages, genders, and even species.
Teachers are also invited to attend the Forces That Change Us luncheon and workshop. Choose "related offerings" at the right to find out more and apply.
Supported by Genzyme Corporation, the Forces That Change Us programs focus on the intimate relationship between our bodies and the environments around us and within us.
