Although the mask can enhance the face value, we can only see that the eyebrows also affect our expression of other people's expressions. The latest research shows that wearing a transparent mask can solve this problem.

Professor of Hokkaido University Jun I. Kawahara and Associate Professor Yuki Miyazaki University of Fushan University studied the influence of the influence of the expression perception of the opposite side of the transparent mask. Their research results were published in the magazine of I-Perception.

The team conducted two separate experiments, one using female facial images, and the other using a male face image to express a series of expressions. These images are obtained from the published databases and are processed so that each image has three versions: no mask, wearing surgical masks and transparent masks. Volunteers checked a series of random images, one at a time, and asked to point out what expression each picture is.

In the two experiments using men and women's faces, the results show that using ordinary surgical masks often destroy the perception of facial expressions, making it difficult for people to recognize the smile or anger of the mask. The ability to identify fear and happiness is the greatest. The faces of happiness are mainly identified as a calm face, and the face of fear is wrongly identified as anger or surprise. However, in these two experiments, the use of transparent masks will not have any negative effects on the perception of the opposite side.

The transparent N95 mask can not only effectively protect the virus, but also allows us to express their expressions, transmit emotions, and show beauty or handsomeness. However, considering the price of transparent masks at 88 yuan/piece, perhaps for most people, ordinary masks are more more than ordinary masks. fragrant.
