Summary
- Difficulty recognizing faces affects approximately two percent of the population.
- Neuroscientist researches brain regions involved in facial recognition.
- Aging and the brain's facial recognition abilities are being explored.
Difficulty recognizing faces, a condition known as face blindness, impacts roughly two percent of the global population. Neuroscientist Zaira Cattaneo, based in Italy, is investigating the specific parts of the brain engaged in facial recognition and how the aging process might influence these abilities.
In the UK, researcher Sarah Bate assessed presenter Caroline Steel's face recognition skills.
