Book excerpt: While vision science has made great strives in a multitude of directions, little is known about computational models of infant vision. Upon birth, brains contain all necessary neurons but lack many connections. Within a few months after birth, infants can easily recognize familiar faces and comprehend expressions, suggesting there exists a predisposition for the human face. In this project, an artificial neural network is created in order to model and understand how an infant's brain processes visual information and hardwires the necessary connections to efficiently recognize faces. The neural network model will learn, as an infant does to filter facial images in search of salient features that distinguish the face from other objects.
