Adults and children easily recognize faces from both the frontal and profile views, whereas newborn babies do not. To investigate the age when we are able to recognize the face regardless of view change, they measured a baby’s brain activity while the baby viewed frontal and profile views of the face using non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy.
