Faces recreated from monkey brain signals

Scientists in the US have accurately reconstructed images of human faces by monitoring the responses of monkey brain cells.

The brains of primates can resolve different faces with remarkable speed and reliability, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

The researchers showed pictures of human faces to macaques and then recorded patterns of brain activity.

The work could inspire new facial recognition algorithms, they report.

Because smiling moves so many facial muscles, it can actually be used to fool facial recognition software.
