“…The human system for face perception is serving all of these goals during naturalistic viewing, and processes for face identification, besides playing only a small part that is finished quickly at the onset, may also be integrated with other functions in such a way that identification cannot be simply dissociated as a modular process. Perhaps in the future, artificial neural networks trained with more ecological objective functions (Daube et al, 2021;Hasson et al, 2020;Ranjan et al, 2017;Zhuang et al, 2021), requiring not just face recognition, but extending to facial dynamics, attention, memory, social context, and social judgments, will create face representations that afford a more ecologically-valid model that better captures the face processing system in humans. Our findings show that current state-of-the-art DCNNs are early-stage models for the human face processing system, and gaps exist between the current face DCNNs and the goal of developing in silico artificial intelligence models that mimic human intelligence in real-world, naturalistic scenarios.…”
