Perception of Age in Images

Jason Silva discusses how the brain adapts over a lifetime and introduces a brain game that challenges viewers to order photos of a boy from youngest to oldest. The trick is that all images are the same, just viewed from different angles. This illusion works because the brain is skilled at identifying features that signify age, such as a thin lower face and small nose for a child-like appearance, and a fuller jaw and neck for older teens.
