Cover Story: Faces provide the fundamental social signal inside our culture. Nonetheless, a challenge with faces exists: they all consist of identical characteristics arranged in the same sequence (the eyes are positioned above the nose, which is situated above the mouth). Facial processing employs a holistic approach, integrating the characteristics of the face and their relative distances. One can contemplate also visual depictions of faces, such as those found in paintings. These are particularly intriguing as various art forms exhibit differing degrees of realism or distortion in relation to actual faces, allowing an exploration of individuals' sensitivity to face-likeness.
