It could also be said that this thread contains some excellent examples of persons afflicted with Prosopagnosia.





Prosopagnosia, or face-blindness, is a neurological condition that renders a person incapable of recognizing faces. It is unrelated to the person's ability to see faces. Someone with perfect vision can suffer from prosopagnosia.

I think you've misinterpreted the definition there buddy

It is unrelated to the person's ability to see faces.


One can still see faces, all this condition means is one cannot recognise who (as in the person) the face belongs to

It has nothing to do with not being able to recognise faces in rock formations.

And I think you are wrong in your assessment....

Perhaps you should invest more time into the research of Prosopagnosia, as you appear to know very little about the disorder.

Start here - At Harvard

Think what you want, I'm going off your own quote which states that the condition is unrelated to the persons ability to SEE faces, it only affects the ability to recognise the face and put an "identity" with it, even the Harvard link you posted has nothing about a person not being able to see a face, it's all to do with memory and putting a name to face.

Also your Harvard reference states "Most of the cases of prosopagnosia that have been documented have been due to brain damage suffered after maturity from head trauma, stroke, and degenerative diseases."

Were you trying to suggest that those of us who don't see faces in rock formations are brain damaged ? I sincerely hope not

The Harvard Page also states this:



Currently, we have a very limited understanding of prosopagnosia, and so there are many research questions that need to be answered. Some of the leading questions are:

* What is the nature of the procedures that are impaired in prosopagnosia?
* What brain regions are impaired in prosopagnosia?
* What genes are involved with genetically-based prosopagnosia?
* Are there methods by which prosopagnosics can improve their face recognition?
* Why do prosopagnosics often have navigational problems as well?
* What is the prevalence of prosopagnosia?

...The primary reason that we have such a limited understanding of prosopagnosia is that few prosopagnosics have been intensively investigated. This is especially true for developmental prosopagnosia.



*The inability to recognize a face in photograph, painting or on a statue, and wherein, of thereon a face is readily apparent would also be classed as prosopagnosia.

If you can't understand this, then that is OKAY.



Were you trying to suggest that those of us who don't see faces in rock formations are brain damaged ? I sincerely hope not


*Where in my post did I suggest anything about 'rock formations'?

As far as you being brain damaged and suffering from prosopagnosia, which is no laughing matter - Do you see the faces? (hint: there are four)

All that area is covered with those flat rocks that remind me of the time when I used to go to the beach.

When the sand is dry and a bigger wave extends more than usual over a dry area, the upper layer of the sand becomes were, but as the wave goes back the water is not enough to wet all the sand, and the sand under that upper layer remains dry.

When the upper layer dries it remains in one piece, and sometimes it breaks under its own weight, looking exactly like those photos from Mars.

It just looks like sedimentary rock.

Then why even bother posting a link about it if the information isn't enough to base a conclusion off, you do realise it applies both ways, to your point as well. Our current understanding to it, which you are referencing to, states that there is no effect on the ability to SEE faces only the ability to recognise them.

If you do not know the definition of "recognition" then that isn't my problem, I'm only refuting your absurd claims that some people in this discussion may suffer from this condition, as opposed to people in this discussion who are sufferers of Pareidolia.

If you don't want to admit you were wrong then that's okay, life goes on
