The new deal with US-based company ClearMask will see 250,000 masks delivered to NHS trusts and social care providers across the UK over the next few weeks. Suggested solutions included using dishwashing liquid, shaving foam or specific anti-fogging spray (a couple of people suggested a spray that is used on motorbike helmets). Bernstein, M. & Yovel, G. Two neural pathways of face processing: a critical evaluation of current models. Neurosci. Biobehav. Rev. 55, 536–546 (2015). Some users told us they prefer a fully clear mask, as the ones with a transparent window still obscure some of the face, and some people felt that this didn't do enough to improve communication.The Multimodal Emotion Recognition Test was used in one research to try to figure out how to assess emotion. The goal of this study was to use a measuring instrument to do something that most individuals do on a daily basis: interpret emotion in a face.

There is also an exemption for people who have a disability which makes it more difficult to put on, wear or take off a mask. The experiment consisted of an on-line test (Qualtrics.com) composed by two distinct sessions. The first session (“ emotion recognition and trust attribution”) was aimed at evaluating the impact of SM and TM on emotion and trust attribution. The second session (“ re-identification task”) was aimed at investigating the impact of SM and TM in the capability to re-identify face identity. The entire study lasted 10 ± 4 min. Response times for each task and condition gave no significant results and were discarded from further analyses (Emotion Recognition: Mdn = 1.71 s. 95% C.I. [1.63, 1.81]; Trust Attribution: Mdn = 1.61 s. 95% C.I. [1.52, 1.70]; Recall: Mdn = 2.11 s. 95% C.I. [1.92, 2.23] ).
