University of Barcelona researchers say that the brain extracts important information for face recognition principally from the eyes, and secondly from the mouth and nose.
The research team obtained this result by analysing 868 male and 868 female face images in a way similar to that of the brain.
Human Brain Is Capable Of Signaling When An Error Is About To Happen
Scientists may soon be able to find a way to prevent common blunders, such as spilling a cup of coffee or failing to notice a red light.

The researchers also found that the images of eyes conveyed more reliable information to the brain compared to images of the mouth and nose, suggesting that face recognition mechanisms in the brain are specialized to the eyes.
According to the study group, their work complements a previously conducted study that showed that artificial face recognition systems have the best recognition performance when processing rather small face images - meaning that machines should do it just like humans.
