RE: How Does Our Brain Recognize Faces?!

in #sirwinchester8 years ago (edited)

It's funny because the older I get the harder it becomes to differentiate faces.

Ironically something very interesting started happening to me a while back. I've seen a lot of people submit their body to hormone replacement therapy to change their perceived sex. As a result, my brain started automatically converting all faces to what they would look like as the opposite sex and through time. I don't know how to explain it other than my brain got in the habit of trying to predict this stuff.

I can see a child and tell you what they will look like when they grow up. I also see parts of people's faces on other faces. The older I get the more humanity merges in my eyes. I just hope my ability to distinguish people from each other doesn't go away, that would suck big time.

wow that's so interesting, thanks for sharing your experience!
I actually think it's a positive, not a negative for you - it's a special ability, and even if you might confuse people from time to time, I'm sure they'll understand!
