Abstract: Research in psychology shows that people a) form instantaneous impressions of other people based on facial appearance; b) agree in these impressions; and c) often act on these impressions. In this talk, I will describe data-driven, reverse correlation methods that can be used to model evaluation of faces on any social dimension (e.g., trustworthiness) and to identify the perceptual basis of this evaluation.
