But least differently from monkey faces? Here we tested 366 volunteers on a face matching test – two images presented side-by-side with participants judging whether the show same identity or identities comparing performance human faces. The results showed was most accurate for above chance Although accuracy higher humans than monkeys trials, there no advantage over trials. give new insights into processing, showing in some ways might as well be another species.
