Database of faces across lifespan
by Marlene Behrmann 03 Mar '18

03 Mar '18

I am wondering whether anyone knows (or has) a database of faces with the same individual's face shown at multiple times across the lifespan - even just childhood and adulthood (and if there is a third point, this would be even better). Many thanks, Marlene Behrmann -- Marlene Behrmann, Ph.D George A. and Helen Dunham Cowan Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition and Department of Psychology Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA (412) 268-2790 behrmann(a)cmu.edu
