Faces are complex objects of great variety, which the visual brain somehow manages to organize by similarity. Two such orderings in fact exist and one, a new study finds, is transformed into the other over time, enhancing a face's distinctiveness.
面孔是种类繁多的复杂物体,而视觉大脑却以某种方式通过相似性来组织它们。事实上存在两种这样的排序,一项新的研究发现,随着时间的推移,其中一种排序会转变为另一种排序,从而增强面孔的独特性。
