Description

Welcome to our public face blindness (prosopagnosia) discussion forum.

Face blind people, family members, friends, researchers, counselors, faculty, and students are all welcome here!

Appropriate topics here are questions about face blindness, living with face blindness, research you're doing, subjects you might be seeking, or news about face blindness research, news coverage, etc. Some face blind people who receive posts here may respond to you directly, rather than posting here.

To assure that those of you who are subscribers receive only on-topic mail, submissions are moderated but should propagate within a few hours.

When you first post, we ask that you begin with a sentence or two introducing yourself. Things to mention might be your name, your location or university, and your involvement with face blindness (such as you have it, you're a researcher, etc.)

The Yahoo interface can be confusing. We have a web page that lists our group ground rules and gives technical hints such as how to subscribe and send messages: http://home.earthlink.net/~blankface/fbp.html

Sometimes, it has proven helpful to be able to abbreviate certain words and expressions which we use in discussing face blindness and other topics which frequently come up. A list of the more common words, phrases, and abbreviations used can be found here: http://www.prosopagnosia.com/interactive/lists/wordlist/

If you are interested in a more private discourse among and between face blind people only, you may wish to check out The Face Blind Folks e-mail list, information about which can be found here: http://home.earthlink.net/~blankface/folks.shtml

Re: Recognizing voices
My voice recognition is okay. Not great and not terrible but if anything slightly worse than average. If I think I've identified a person then I can tell if

Hi Jon-- This incident doesn't really qualify as as "notorious" but it is funny. I have read a lot of crime and espionage fiction my entire life and I always
