Symmetry, sexual dimorphism in facial proportions and male facial attractiveness (2001)
Journal Article
Penton-Voak, I., Jones, B., Little, A., Baker, S., Tiddeman, B., Burt, D., & Perrett, D. (2001). Symmetry, sexual dimorphism in facial proportions and male facial attractiveness. Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 268, 1617-1623

Facial symmetry has been proposed as a marker of developmental stability that may be important in human mate choice. Several studies have demonstrated positive relationships between facial symmetry and attractiveness. It was recently proposed that sy...

Computer graphics in facial perception research (2001)
Journal Article
Tiddeman, B., Burt, D., & Perrett, D. (2001). Computer graphics in facial perception research. IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 21, 42-50

This article describes new methods for improved prototyping and transformation of skin textures including wrinkles and stubble. The authors use a wavelet transform to capture the textural detail in different facial regions at multiple spatial scales... Read More about Computer graphics in facial perception research.

Self-perceived attractiveness influences human female preferences for sexual dimorphism and symmetry in male faces (2001)
Journal Article
Little, A., Burt, D., Penton-Voak, I., & Perrett, D. (2001). Self-perceived attractiveness influences human female preferences for sexual dimorphism and symmetry in male faces. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 268(1462), 39-44. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2000.1327

Exaggerated sexual dimorphism and symmetry in human faces have both been linked to potential 'good-gene' benefits and have also been found to influence the attractiveness of male faces. The current study explores how female self-rated attractiveness... Read More about Self-perceived attractiveness influences human female preferences for sexual dimorphism and symmetry in male faces.
