Vicki Bruce and Andy Young’s lavishly illustrated book, In the Eye of the
Beholder: The Science of Face Perception, has inspired an exhibition at the
Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh. The Science of the Face
exhibition explores facial perception through computer simulation—to age
Bonnie Prince Charlie, to turn Mary Queen of Scots into a man and to create a
face that resembles both Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair… depending on
where you stand. The exhibition ends on 2 August. Admission is free. The book is
published by Oxford University Press, £25, ISBN 0198524404.
