Ooh, ooh, I get to be the one to make the Peter Watts reference today! Chernoff Faces make an appearance in Blindsight, where the ship captain Sarasti uses them. The specific details would be a spoiler, though.

Always love a good Peter Watts reference, though this one makes me want to go back and read Blindsight again as I can't remember the reference... As his website says though, my "will to live [has been] getting too strong" lately, so...

In this particular case, I think there are at least two nose shapes close enough to π/2 that Sarasti would find them disturbing.

    Never saw such a nose in my life
    'Tis a nose of parchment
    It is six times as big but
    'tis a nose like my nose
