Well, that's an interesting interpretation! Pre-verbal memories formed during stress that are accessed imperfectly by the adult brain. Very interesting! And...
Or the bees, anyway: Scientists now think they're able to recognize human faces. But it also sounds as if they're using the skill sets some of us might! I read...
I don't recognize most actors but that's probably because I don't care about them. I can usually locate Paul Newman! Otherwise, I have a similarly mild case...

My father and brother are distinctive enough for me to recognize them; as is my son. When my husband reached middle age, his body changed shape making it more ...
HI, I have been on the edges of the faceblind community for some time....mostly on livejournal/users/faceblind. I have trouble recognizing people until they...

I'm not sure I understand the question. Replace a face where? In a magazine? Do you mean to deceive someone as to identity? Like in an ID card? Or maybe...
Welcome, Deena. As you read posts you will realize your experiences are common--among the people in this group. - - - Personally, I don't think transplanting a...
Dena, I have a slightly different take on the subject of face transplants. From what I understand from a friend who's husband had a heart transplant... The...
Dena, I am sorry. I did not intend to be rude. Welcome to the faceblind groups. Nice to meet you. I guess it is easy to see I sort of get involved in some...
Thanks for all the responses. Apparently, the face transplant in question was not one of just cosmetics--I can see where it would be unethical to advise...
I think it is not at all strange that here on a "faceblind" site we do not have much of an opinion or worry about the moral question of how someone looks. I...

... Somebody brought this story to my attention elsewhere, but I'll be happy to share my thoughts on this here too. One of my thoughts is this: Does it really...
Yes, it really matters if bees can learn to recognize faces, because, if we can figure out how they are doing it, (which genes cause that, and what part of...
I clicked on the link (and even copied it and pasted it to address bar) and could not get there. It said page expired. But it is not a new issue to me as...
Hi everyone, I expect that nearly everyone with faceblindness would pass the face test used in that paper with flying colors. The task they used was very...

I found it unsettling that all the Oompa-Loompas look alike. Even if I can't distinguish between faces, I do know that faces are supposed to be different. (I...

I think your point is a good one Jim, that the bees pick out patterns, wether it is a face on a picture or one of a certain size man with certain type clothing...
