Assessing the perception of tired faces

24 September 2016

Evidence highlights a significant role of the face in projecting tiredness cues to perceivers. The purpose of the current project is to further explore whether specific facial features function to characterize the perception of a tired and sleepy face. The identification and validation of such features will ultimately lead to the creation of sleep-related facial stimuli for experimental research.
