OPERATION TASTE TEST
A first-of-its-kind blind taste test
Typically, taste tests are self reported. The only problem: People lie. Facial reactions tell another story.
So to prove which yogurt is tastiest, we built an AI that measured micro facial reactions, including: eyebrow furrow, nose crinkle and eye openness.
Then, we enlisted a leading facial analysis researcher from NYU to provide expert analysis and cast real people who had no idea what this was all for.
