Do you find you're endlessly fascinated by this thing on the front of your head?
Well you're not alone
We love faces, our own and other peoples
But why do faces interest us so much
and how much do they really tell us about their owner?
Like us, other animals are also fascinated by what they see in the mirror
but unlike us they think they're looking at another animal
Only chimps, and of course, man can recognise their own reflection
to know that what they see is who they are- well,
the intelligent ones can do that anyway.
Perhaps we pay too much attention to faces
My mother used to say, "You can't tell a book from its cover"
So how much does this mug tell you about its owner?
This is Vicky, a 21 year old student
Sometimes I'll think that, you know,
I'm the hottest chick in town or something you know,
I think, yeah I'm pretty, pretty cool I'm an OK babe, you know
And then it will be somebody's, somebody will give me a really bad look,
and then I'll remember that I don't actually look that way
Vicky has a rare genetic disorder called cherubism
and strangers can find her face unnerving
Some people will just look and then they'll glance away
But every now and then I'll come across someone who'll stare and stare and stare
really cold, hard stares, someone is so curious that
they just can't keep their eyes off of me
Vicky was a normal looking baby
It was only as she started to grow that her parents
noticed that something was wrong
Vicky, when did you first notice that your face was becoming different?
Well, my mum first noticed when I was about 4 years old
and she was brushing my teeth and noticed that
my teeth were kind of higgledy piggledy around my mouth you know not quite normal
So I wasn't born looking like this
How different are you now from how you might have been
if you'd grown up without your face changing?
When I was a little girl I was very bossy and I was very boisterous
and I was a terrible show off and in my brother's christening video,
you know there's me in a dress singing nursery rhymes
and pulling my dress up and being absolutely horrendous
But when I got to the age of 12, 13,
that's when I started to become more withdrawn
because that's when my face started to get more severe
That's when people at school started to bully me
And I think it was all about being popular
When you're a teenager you wanna be popular, you wanna be normal,
you wanna be in, in with the crowd
I've got a 16 year old daughter, so I know how difficult that is
Oh it's awful being a teenage girl,
you know there's nothing worse than being a teenage girl believe me.
The last thing you want to be is different, which is what I was
All the nasty people don't want to know me really
and it's good kind strong people that I have as friends
because they don't really mind the way I look
They like me for me
When people first meet Vicky they sometimes assume she's mentally retarded
but it takes about sixty seconds to discover
she's a bright, funny, warm, woman with a sparkling personality.
So the interesting question is how much information
is our face actually giving out?
And the other question is:
Why does it look like this anyway?
Once upon a time, though life existed, there were no faces
Then along came a sea creature with the first facial feature - a mouth
So it could eat
A mere 200 million years after that innovation,
a creature emerged from the primeval slime
with the prototypes of all our modern features
And the first face to come out of the water and breathe air,
as I'm trying to do, did so in December of our evolutionary year
and it belonged to a little reptile called acanthostega
and I think there's one over there
Now if you look on the top of his head you can see he's got internal ears
But it's those tiny nostrils just there that are so important
And those tiny reptilian orifices are the ancestor of our own hooters
In those days noses were one of the most important features of our faces
Being low down on the ground meant that smell was primary
You were literally led by your nose
Most animals continued to depend on their noses
but our ancestors started to stand upright and that changed everything
as we know 5 million years ago or something of that sort human beings
changed from being on 4 feet to vertical
You're higher so you see better
Any advantage being higher as far as smell's concerned?
Er no, but we don't rely much on smell
We don't walk along with our nose on the ground like, like a 4 footed thing does
As soon as you stand up it's very boring to have to go down
saying "Oh God that was Auntie Margaret"
So the moment you start standing up you, you immediately make smell less important
Yes
So for humans, the dominant sense became vision
We learnt to recognise the world by who and what we saw
So two reasons why the human face is important
First, it means that we've got our sight, hearing,
right at the top of our bodies, near smell and taste which is a good plan
And our face is equally important because our face is nature's name tag
in other word,It's a particular arrangement in features that tells you I am me
I am not Michall Palon
and also it tells you I'm Northem European and not Polanisan or Asian or Africa
Even though there are 6 billion humans on this planet,
no two faces are exactly alike
Not even identical twins are truly identical
We're all different
But some of us don't want to look different
Lisa comes from Mexico, where her Latin features blend in
But now she's settled in Los Angeles and she wants to fit in with her white friends
Spalding Drive cosmetic surgery and dermatology
...drop your chin just a little bit
She's come to plastic surgeon Paul Nassif to find out
what she could do to change her nose
When I look at myself in the mirror I think I look very Latin
And now even a step further I've actually married a Jewish man
going to synagogue being exposed to a lot of the women there
with these very thin little noses
I actually would like to achieve that type of nose, that's what I'd like
Maybe I can kind've give you a little better understanding
I do like the real thin look of it
Your primary concern is that you nostrils are too wide?
What you're describing to me, it almost sounds like you want to have
more of a Caucasian looking nose - we call that a westernisation rhinoplasty
I think for me socially I would like to have that type of nose
Every time I see someone with a small little nose,
I think gosh I would love to have that type of nose
I think it would be really nice
As well as changing her nose Lisa's also going to try and make herself
Iook more European by having her eyebrows lifted and her eyes widened
Cannot wait to see what I'm gonna look like
Wake up to a new and better you!
And so we start now, making an incision inside the nose
This surgery is not without its risks as her husband Mitchell is aware
What if they mess if up?
Its messed up forever
Its not like other kinds of surgery where you could cover up with
a long sleeved shirt or something like that
This is a whole different situation lts her face
Now there is maybe a one in a thousand chance that when I make this cut here,
that some of this tissue may not heal properly
which means if things go wrong, Lisa could lose the end of her nose
but that's a risk she's prepared to take to make her face fit
But will it actually help her to blend in? We'll find out later
Most animals like to belong to a group
Even the stupidest animal have learnt to recognise the faces of their friends
and pick them out from the crowd even though
to our eyes it's hard to tell them apart
But let's check it out
Welcome Martha. Come right on in Step right in
Boy have you got something to think about
Martha is in a room looking at pictures of two different sheep
One of them's her friend Sam, the other one's a total stranger
But can Martha tell the difference?
Which one's her friend - left or right?
Can she work it out?
Can you?
Ooh, lts not easy She's on the move
Yes she's chosen Sam, her friend! She's got it right
Well done Martha, you win first prize
And just to check that Martha's not a particularly brainy sheep, here's Matilda
Will she be able to pick out Sam as easily?
Uh oh, which one? She's spotted Sam and she's off. Well done!
Martha and Matilda aren't academics of the sheep world, all sheep can do this
It's more than just a good party trick It's a key survival skill
They have a very good visual sense, so it's not terribly surprising that
they've turned this to actually allow them to identify important individuals,
both family and friends within the flock, but also threatening individuals,
either dominant members of the flock, or alternatively of course, predators
Using visual cues And the area of the animal,
same way as ourselves, that varies most is the face
Humans have the most sophisticated face recognition system of any animal
Even very young babies can recognise the faces that are important to them
Just how young this ability begins is being tested at Birkbeck College in London
Tatiana and her mum are going to be part of an experiment to find out whether
Tatiana can recognise her mum's face and distinguish it from that of a stranger
It's important for babies to recognize the faces of their mother
and other important people in their life from very early in life,
because these are the people who are going to be taking care of them
and babies are very helpless and they rely on other people in order to survive
This hairnet of electrical sensors will measure Tatiana's brain waves
as she looks at pictures of her mum and of someone she's never seen before
When she sees the stranger, the sensors show that
although she knows she's looking at a face, she just can't recognise it
But when she looks at her mum's face it's quite different
Her brainwaves show there's immediate recognition
That's because it's not actually the eye that recognises faces
It's the brain that does all the hard work of processing and interpreting
I went to find out more from brain expert Dr. Ramachandran
Smells good, doesn't it?
Yeah, fried black butter, few capers - terrific
There are 1 00 billion nerve cells in the cortex
And the entire back part of the brain, a large chunk of the back part of the brain,
almost half the brain, is devoted primarily to seeing
I mean, that's extraordinary
If anything says what an incredibly visual species
we are the fact that half the brain is devoted to seeing
It's extraordinary
But what Dr. Ramachandran told me next was even more astonishing
And it's amazing how there's a big chunk of that
that's dedicated almost entirely to recognising faces
And this is because human beings, primates in general, are highly visual creatures
So think of the millions of faces you've seen in a lifetime
All that information gets stored in this region
This face recognition centre sits here at the back of the brain
and in an area only a few cm wide we store the images of billions of faces
And just as important as it is for a child to recognise its parent,
it's also important for every parent to recognise their child
One of these young women is my daughter
dad,can I have some money? take it.
Thank you
because I recognise her face as well
Imagine, however, not being able to recognise one of your own children
One of the first instances where l realised that I didn't recognise faces
was when my son was standing in front of a store with two friends,
I figured I have to know at least one of these three kids
So I was studying their faces as I walked directly towards them
I had no idea who any of them were until the one in the centre went
Hi Dad
Jim lost the ability to recognize faces 5 years ago,
following a brain operation to remove a massive blood clot
Trying to find someone, no matter how well I know them,
is an impossible task for me
I've had to go to the beach to look for the kids
Well how do I find my two kids out of all of these people on the beach?
There has been a few occasions that my dad got myself and a friend
confused like he didn't know which one was me
It's strange
It's hard because you want your parent to know what you look like
It is kind of upsetting in a way because he can't look at me
and see how I've grown during the past five years
He can't see exactly what I look like
You know like, when you look at me you can see my whole face in one picture:
you can see if I have small ears, big ears, a small nose, what colour my eyes are
He has to, he would have to look at you closely
He could look at your left eye, then he could look at your nose,
then he could look at your lips and your mouth,
but his problem is that you can't put it all together into one picture
I don't even notice that people have faces
I accept the fact they do and then I'll look where I know
the face belongs but there's never any recognition there
One crucial part of the recognizing system of his brain is missing
Every time we see a face our brain automatically checks it against
the billions of faces stored in our memory to try and
Jim still has a databank of faces stored in his brain from before the accident
he just can't access them
OK Jim here's another photograph - can you tell me what you see
Uh oh. I know the smile but I no idea whose smile it is
This is roughly how Jim sees faces - can you guess who it is?
Let me give you the names of a few people and see if anyone rings a bell for you
with regard to this photograph OK?
Hillary Clinton, Goldie Hawn, Princess Diana
Any of those names ring a bell?
All of those names rang a bell but not in connection with that photograph
Well if you had to guess between Hillary Clinton and Princess Diana,
what would be your guess?
If one of those names is correct,
I'll go by hair colour and say Hillary Clinton
Well it's not Hillary Clinton
OK well that narrowed the list didn't it?
I guess like a lot of other things I never realized
how important facial recognition was until I lost it
Being able to match any new face we see against the ones already stored
in our memory is such an important skill we're even teaching it to machines
Here in Newham in East London, they're using state of
the art computer technology to clamp down on crime
They've stored images of the faces of hundreds of known criminals
And by scanning the streets with CCTV cameras their face recognition software
can check faces in the crowd within seconds to see just who's out there
To see how good this machine brain is at recognising faces,
I've volunteered to put it to the test
Do you want to see my upper class brother "Oi I say."
My name is Jasper, Jasper Cleese...
The computer's interested in my vital statistics...
nothing too exciting...
measurements like the distance between my eyes are stored as well as my mugshot
Once the camera homes in on my face the computer measures it
and searches the database for a match
The actual speed of the solution can be as fast as fifteen million faces a minute
that's how many is can search through
It's got me...
But will it spot my cross-dressing...?
One last disguise
Bingo - I've fooled the machine
John had a hat that was pulled down very much over his eyes,
and then made worse by these very very dark glasses,
and the glasses had quite a large frame
so we ended up almost losing really what's our key area
But none of you were fooled by my silly sunglasses and hat, were you?
The machine was fooled because it relies on measuring features
The fact that none of us was fooled shows
that we recognise faces in a different way from machines
Our brains operate in a more, how shall I put it, artistic way
This is the face of a well known British celebrity - do you recognise him?
...is it getting any easier?
Isn't it strange that its much easier for the brain to recognize
an exaggerated caricature of the face than a more accurate line drawing
So why do we find it so much easier to recognise a caricature?
Some experts believe its because that's how the brain itself works
It wouldn't surprise me at all if what the artist is doing is actually
mimicking the very processes that are going on in your own brain
when you look at any person
And what the brain seems to be doing every time it looks at a face
is searching for differences from the norm
Its looking for features that it can exaggerate and caricature
to help it remember the person next time
This theory is new and it strikes a chord with
professional caricaturists like Tim Watts
I think in caricature you can unlock or heighten or underline
what it is about that person's face which makes them different from another person
I think what's going on is your brain
is in a sense producing an internal caricature
In fact there have been experiments showing that you recognise caricatures
faster and more accurately than the original that was shown to you
So here are Prince Charles and George W.Bush. But what about my face?
John Cleese has a sort of banana shaped face
His chin comes up at the bottom and his forehead sort of comes over
at the top here, which creates a sort of moon, crescent moon shape,
not quite Mister Punch cos he hasn't got the hooked nose of Punch
His chin is large, but it's not large in a Kirk Douglas or Errol Flynn type way,
it does have something of an underhang as well
Well, of course, what's really good about it is that he looks so young
then there's the big chin I'm surprised he got that
And with caricature you can't make everything big,
you can't exaggerate everything, so with Cleese something has to give
and in his instance it's the nose,
the nose becomes smaller and more sort of delicate
The nose is very good, rather pointed, a little bit like a rodent
I think with Cleese probably most people think of Basil Fawlty
so it has a severity about the expression, the bulging eyes
But can the puppet do this?
So we store our memories of peoples faces up here as their caricatures
And then we match that caricature to the particular face we're looking at
Except that I think there's something missing. And I want to check it out
What's missing is emotion
We all know that we react differently to different peoples' faces
so I'm off to meet a woman who's going to give me a sort of lie detector test
to see which faces really affect me and which leave me cold
So why don't you give me your left hand
and what I'm going to do first is just wipe off some dead skin cells
that way we get a better connection
Poor dead skin cells
Carrie attaches electrodes to my skin to measure how sweaty
it gets when I get emotional The results are shown on a computer screen
Unfortunately being a typical uptight Englishman
there's not much going on at the moment
But Carrie thinks she can get me more excited
So why don't you recount your most vivid recent fantasy for us
My most vivid recent fantasy was of West Ham United
beating Leeds United 7 - 0 at Elland Road
And that was, boy that was good... Di Canio got 4
That was a recent sexual fantasy?
No,no sexual,you say fantasy
the sexual fantasy...
Recent sexual fantasy Maggie Thatcher...
Alright I'll think of something really nice
Suitable to the television audience
Oh, I have to say it out loud
Yeah, part of the embarrassment so you can see your response going up
Its disappeared right off the screen!
That was terrific and I hadn't even started yet
Enough of my offbeat fantasies, time to get on with the test
When I react positively or negatively to a face the line should jump
My daughter's face is the first face to provoke a reaction
Iots and lots of emotion
That's a great face - looks so English - weird creature - Saddam Hussein
I looked at and didn't feel as antagonistic to him
as I expected I would have
That's interesting because that was one of the pictures
you recognised that you didn't get a response to
The positive one's the Dalai Lama
You got a big response to the Dalai Lama
Yeah - he touches everyone
Your body almost seemed to relax when you were looking at the Dalai Lama
that you got a very large response,
I think to him and your daughter and Jerry Springer
those were your largest reactions
Rather insane to react more strongly to Jerry Springer
than to Hitler and Saddam Hussein
So the emotional responses we have to some faces
are not always the ones we would predict
And it turns out that this emotion can be so strong
that it actually affects our ability to recognise someone
And we know this because of a young man who had a very nasty car accident
I was sitting in the back
The car tried to go a little bit towards the left to avoid this other car
and it flipped three times and one of those flips I went flying out of the car
and I landed partly on my head in the highway
David spent the next three weeks critically ill in a coma
Because the visual part of his brain was damaged
David couldn't recognize his family and friends
But most of his friends came to visit and he didn't know who they were
He forgot his girlfriend...
he had a wonderful girlfriend, and they were very much in love
and he didn't know who she was
But that wasn't the whole story it was much stranger than that
David became convinced that his parents had been replaced by aliens
He was in the hospital, I would go in and talk to him
and he wouldn't even call me mother or anything and not only that
but after five minutes if I would go outside and come back five minutes
afterwards he would then just think I was someone different
David's is the only case like this that Dr. Ramachandran has come across
Certain patients who've been in a car accident, for example,
and have had a head injury and they've been in a coma for a couple of weeks
and they come out of this coma, they seem completely normal in most respects
They can talk fluently, they can read a book,
and their memory seems intact, right?
But the patient looks at his mother and he says "Doctor,
this woman looks exactly like my mother, but she is not my mother,
she is some other woman pretending to be my mother: she's an imposter
John let me introduce you to David... and Rosita...
How are you?
Fine... old but good
Hi. Nice to meet you
The strangest thing was one day he told me,
it was evening time and I was preparing dinner
And he said you know the lady who comes in the morning
and cooks breakfast cooks so much better than you do...
and it was me all the time I was the one
With his dad too he had a similar experience As I recall
When you first came here and your dad had brought you here
I remember you were denying it was your dad,
you were saying it was some other old man who brought you here
and I asked you why this man should be here and you said no,
no he just takes care of me
He used to tell me I'm going to tell my dad that
you don't drive as well as he does
I wanted him to meet him Because it will some day get him
to drive correctly like my father does
Go forbid about that It was hard to believe what I was hearing
After the accident, David honestly believed that his parents
had been replaced by complete strangers who just happened
to look like his father and mother
But how is it that when David looks at his mother
he sees a stranger who looks exactly like her
what's going on inside his head?
Well, every time David looks at his mother's face,
the information is passed to the face recognition centre in the brain
So far, so good. Then that information should travel on to another area
of the brain so that her face can be given the appropriate emotional tag
It's the combination of the two which assures him he's looking at his mother
And this is where David's problems started
the car accident damaged the link between the two areas
So because the face area of the brain is intact he can still say whose face it is
He'll say "it's my mother's face."
But because the wire going from there is cut
there's no emotional response to his mother
So he says, "My god, if this is my mother,
why is there no warmth, why is there no terror?
Why don't I experience any emotions when I see my mother,
so this must be some other strange woman pretending to be my mother
It's 5 years since David's accident and he's made a remarkable recovery
He's a different person from what he was five years ago
He knows who his sisters are He knows who the people around him are
The emotional charge that we get when we recognise a face is so important to us
that if a familiar face doesn't trigger the appropriate response our brain
comes up with this extraordinary rationalisation this must be an imposter
What happened to David shows that too little emotion is a big problem
when it comes to recognising faces
So do strong emotions mess up our perceptions?
What happens say if we're the victim of some brutal crime?
I had gone to bed early that evening
and around three thirty was awakened by a sound
Someone jumped on me and pinned my hands beside my head
And I realised very quickly that it wasn't someone I knew
And he proceeded to rape me
First of all I tried to adjust my eyes to whatever
Iight was coming through my windows
And then I just studied his face for scars or tattoos or jewellery or facial hair
I probably had about 1 5 to 20 minutes of total time that I looked at him
and I really tried hard to look at him, even though you don't want to,
I did try very hard to keep focused and, and look at him
Jennifer managed to escape from her attacker and describe him to the police
I thought Jennifer was an outstanding witness for a number of reasons
She was able to articulate extremely well what happened to her
during the course of the sexual assault
In addition to that she was able to vividly
provide a description of her assailant
Jennifer went through the standard police procedure, describing her assailant
and then creating an identikit picture of him feature by feature
It was not easy - it was very difficult
I really never understood how many nostrils there are in the world,
how many bridges of the nose
There's just so much involved in a facial description
But once we were done I felt fairly confident that he,
that the picture that we came up with was as close to the person
who assaulted me as I could possibly get
Within two days of the investigation there were six individuals
who had surfaced as suspects
We developed a photo line up involving those 6 individuals
Jennifer identified a young black man
called Ronald Cotton as the man who raped her
Two days later she was asked to come to a line up at the local police station
Once again she picked out Ronald Cotton
Even though she was severely traumatised Jennifer was determined
to testify at the trial
Well I was very certain that was the person
Rage was filling up in inside of me and so I think that
I was very anxious to go ahead and proceed with the trial
and see the man who attacked me serve his life sentence in jail
At the trial in January 1 985 Ronald Cotton was convicted of rape
and sentenced to life
But Ronald had always protested his innocence
And once inside Central Prison in North Carolina an extraordinary coincidence
occured which would change the course of his case
His cell mate Bobby Poole was openly bragging to the other prisoners
that he had raped Jennifer
Bobby Poole did resemble the composite drawing, without question
But there are thousands of black males in this case who would in fact
Iook like or resemble the composite drawing
So that didn't force me to waver in my confidence of her identification
In the appeal court Jennifer was confronted with both Ronald and Bobby
and again asked to identify the man who raped her
When I saw both of them together I remember looking at Bobby Poole
and not recognising him at all
I mean that was of course one of the first questions is "do you recognise that man?"
I said, "No, I've never seen him before in my life"
Jennifer's eye witness testimony was so strong that
Ronald was sent back to prison for another 8 years
It wasn't until the new science of DNA testing was developed
that her evidence was questioned
A long forgotten sperm sample proved conclusively that
Bobby Poole had indeed raped Jennifer
She had identified the wrong man
For the first time in a long time, you're walking out of here a free man
With those words 33 year old Ronald Cotton was free for the first time in years
I don't think I'd ever felt so ashamed and, and guilt ridden, and
I guess part of me was - I mean l, l,
I felt very, almost like I had...embarrassed,
I, I think - embarrassed that I had made such a huge mistake
and that mistake had impacted Ronald Cotton for those eleven years
I mean significantly impacted Ronald Cotton for those eleven years
So how did Jennifer get it so wrong?
Well it seems that while her emotions were still running high
she saw a face she thought looked familiar
From that moment on her emotions imprinted that face deep into her brain
So deeply that when she saw the face of the man who really raped her she felt nothing
Now I realise that, that our minds are not video tapes,
and we can't record something and then spit it back exactly as we saw it
But it wasn't just the trauma of being raped...
the colour of the face she was trying to recognise made a crucial difference
I think trauma definitely had a part to play in that:
but I also think that the racial differences had probably more to do,
in my case, than almost anything
I think that, that races have a very difficult time
recognising differences in other races
So if we know someone well, we're actually very good at recognising them
even from a bad angle and in dodgy light
But if we've only seen them once or twice we're really not very good
especially if they're fases of a kind we're not familiar with
"they all look the same to me" syndrome
Then our recognition skills are in big trouble
To a black person the differences between
Bobby and Ronald's faces are probably obvious
But to Jennifer they weren't
Her brain focussed on the most obvious feature of the face - its colour
This tendency to simplify seems to be the part of the way we're designed
I think there is a general tendency in the visual system indeed in the brain
to classify objects into similar types versus dissimilar types...
the brain is doing this all the time to economise
on visual information processing...
to simplify the world and if this process gets deranged it could manifest as racism
because instead of seeing the whole person single visual prototype
somebody who is black or somebody who is Chinese
and then you start making overgeneralisation from that one prototype
Lisa's aware of these racial judgements and has had surgery to change her eyes
and nose to fit in with her Caucasian friends
No one has ever said to me
you're the only Mexican girl hanging around all these white people,...
it just makes me more comfortable
It's 6 weeks since her surgery
We just recently went out with a bunch of friends
and it was a great opportunity for all of us to get dressed up and go out
I have to tell you I felt so good...
you know some people may have said its very subtle
but when I look at myself I definitely see a big difference
Its exactly what I wanted its thinner
I've got a great profile and I just feel it definitely enhances my face
Not to sound very snobbish... I love it, it's exactly what I wanted
So it was obviously the right decision for Lisa
But some of us are brave enough to stand out from the crowd
One of the things that I have shouted at me, when I walk down the street is
oi fat chin, why don't you go and see a plastic surgeon?
I've had that said to me for years, for most of my life...
There were times when I though yeah
I should see a doctor I want my chin to be small,
so I don't ever have to go through that kind of abuse again
But then l, I thought to myself well
I'm not doing anything wrong looking like this:
this is the face that I have,
and I don't want to change it because this is me,
you know I've grown up with this face: to me it's not just a face,
it's kind of like a mark of identity or something
So much, much better to look extraordinary
cos there ain't many people in the world that look like me
We should challenge the judgements we make based on people's faces
we're often wrong
Most people think that I must have served time in prison
I must be some kind of hooligan I do get harassed quite often.
At first a lot of people think I'm stuck up or they're afraid to approach me
when they get to know me they see a whole different person
The attitude people have if you look this way you got to be bad
I'm really nice just trying to get along with everybody
So the face merely gives us a few clues to start with
