Morphing facial technology sheds light on the boundaries of self-recognition

Scientists investigate how our sense of agency and self-identity influence each other in the digital world.

They investigated how recognizing oneself through facial features might affect how people perceive control over their own facial features.

Dr. Shunichi Kasahara and his collaborators have investigated the dynamics of face recognition using motor-visual synchrony -- the coordination between a person's physical movements and the visual feedback they receive from those movements.

When people see their own face, they report a lower sense of agency.

Conversely, when they see another person's face they're more likely to feel agency.

These surprising results challenge what we thought we knew about how we see ourselves in images.

Dr. Kasahara emphasized the acceptance of technology in society plays a crucial role in technological advancements and human evolution.
