A little experiment by Cognitive Daily showed that people are amazingly good at identifying faces from other images at the resolution of only 6 by 7 pixels!

    I was pretty surprised that some people could get Sean Connery. I thought Napoleon was pretty easy though. Amazing how good the human brain is at recognizing objects with so little information.

    yeah I saw Napolean too. I guess maybe you have to be familiar with the portrait though…
