Hello all, My name is Ameer Thompson. I am doing a research internship at the NYU Center for Neural Science, studying prosopagnosia and the effects of object...
I seem to be somewhat different than some of the other face blind individuals here. I can see faces in some respects. I could see if someone walked up to me...

... I've been thinking on this for days and and I don't think the size of the face on the small or the big screen makes any difference in face recongation. It...
... I'd agree. I see faces like I see Chinese characters. I see them exactly like a Chinese guy, but I can't READ them. It doesn't matter if they are small...
Hello, Ameer... I haven't asked my son Zeke (age 13) about your specific question, but he also has difficulty recognizing different insect species and letters,...
<<For instance, he could not distinguish between a bee and a butterfly, snip but it is still a strain for him to distinguish the order of the letters -- that...

Hi, Ameer... For those of us who do not study neurology, could you give us a simple short definition of "apperceptive PA's" , and "associative PA's" ? I know...
Hi, Ameer... ... Hey Mimi, Sorry for the confusion. You know us science types like to use a lot of jargon to explain simple stuff (it makes us feel smart ;-)...
