Keyword: facial recognition
Facial recognition - we can easily recognize complex objects and we are especially good at identifying faces. From birth, we can show rudimentary facial processing capabilities and exhibit heightened interest in faces. Within the brain, face perception is a very complex process that involves extensive and diverse areas, but recognizing faces and the information they convey (such as origin, emotional state or health) is vital for guiding our social interactions. Disease, disorders and injury can impair our facial recognition abilities, sometimes in quite specific ways.
