Thank you! It means so much to me that some people are appreciating these lectures. I knocked myself out all spring preparing this course, and it was quite a gut punch to read my course evaluations a few days ago, which ere pretty negative. I was so dispirited, I was actually thinking of stopping posting the lectures, but if you guys/gals are into it, that is awesome,I will keep at it! To answer your question: yes we showed long ago that if you close your eyes and imagine a face you turn on the face area, and if you imagine a place you turn on the place area - here is the article: http://web.mit.edu/bcs/nklab/media/pdfs/OCravenKanwisherJOCN... We and others have shown that in developmental prosopagnosia, the deficit is not just in remembering faces, but also in perceiving them. Nancy
