One of the key questions in forensics is measure the accuracy of forensic examiners. To address this question, we are conducting the Measuring the accuracy of facial forensics comparisons research study. This research study will measure performance of facial forensic examiners will using the tools and methods in their laboratory. We are recruiting facial forensic examiners to perform 20-30 pairs of face images and answer a background survey.


We are also recruiting face super-recognizers, non-examiner face experts, and fingerprint examiners to take the same study. Face super-recognizers have been labeled through a test or by being recruited to work using their skills as face super-recognizers. Non-examiner face experts are familiar with faces but have not been trained in facial forensic comparisons. We are looking for fingerprint examiners who do not have experiment in facial comparisons. Fingerprint examiners have been trained forensic comparison, but not have experience with faces. The performance from these two groups will for a detailed analysis of facial forensics comparisons.


By participating in this research study, you will assist in developing a scientific measure of performance of facial forensic comparison. These results will help meet the Daubert standard for the admissibility of expert witness testimony.


By volunteering for this research study, you may request your accuracy at comparing the extremely challenging faces in this study.


If you are will to volunteer, please contact the principle investigator, Dr. Jonathon Phillips by email at [email protected] or by phone at +1 301-975-5348.
