New Research - Identification of Mask Wearers by Super Recognisers

New research has confirmed that human Super Recognisers are able to spot suspects, despite face coverings. The abstract of this report notes: "The findings show an SR advantage for the detection of hyper‐realistic masks across the covert and explicit mask detection tasks."

Criminals are still taking advantage of the consequences of the Covid pandemic and are wearing masks, not for health purposes, but to try and conceal their identities. See the report via this link:
