    How is it a phrenology study?

    The hypothesis would be that your name can affect your personality, which can then affect your habitual facial expressions, hair, and makeup.

      They really busted out the AI calipers on this one. It's literally looking at skull shapes. I only read the paper and didn't watch the video, but people get the same result when figuring out if face shape is associated with criminal behavior.

        my embarrassment grows lol

        only adults, not children, showed any face-name correlation, according to the authors. That would rule out skull shape—for whatever that's worth.

        I'm not trying to double down on this goofy study I saw on youtube. I'm just feeling embarrassed and defensive that everyone is shitting on my post. I'm subscribed to a guy named Anton Petrov who summarizes new papers, and I saw this video title and thought "Wait, what?" but when I watched it it seemed to have a plausible angle.
