Facial Averaging and Physical Attractiveness

Instructions and Background
This is a little demonstration in which you generate several
examples of average faces from the several that are given at
this web address:
http://www.faceresearch.org/demos/average
1. Click on any four female or male faces, and form your impression of
the attractiveness of the composite (average) face.
2. Press "reset." Now click on any ten female or male faces, and form
your impressions now.
3. Do it one more time; this time using a very large number of faces to
make your composite.
4. You should observe increasing attractiveness the more faces are
used to form your composite face.
5. I hope you had fun with this.
