How did they make the heads move on this page?

This is a cool effect and I'd like to know how they did it. Is it javascript? and if so how does it get the cursor position in relation to the heads?

on mouse move they find the mouse x,y relative to each image... then for each image they change the src...
Can easily be done with a simple multi-image rollover behavior in Dreamweaver... All you need are the images for each face in the left forward and right position.

Here is a great tutorial to get you started.
