Tips has been unusually quiet over the past several days, implying: (1) The end of the semester was much worse then usual and/or (2) Most Tipsters are really into celebrating the holidays (i.e., Chanukah/Solstice/Christmas/Kwanzaa/Prince Spaghetti Day in honor of the Flying Spaghetti Monster/etc). and/or (3) Everybody got fired at the end of the fall semester and got their email accounts yanked (retirees were too busy with (2) above because, hey, they party all the time).
So, anyway, the NY Times has a interesting article on prosopagnosia or face blindness that is somewhat based on an article in the Journal of Neuroscience but which focuses more on the people with the disorder. Here is a link to NY Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/27/health/views/face-and-voice-recognition-may-be-linked-in-the-brain-research-suggests.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all Here is a link to the Journal of Neuroscience article: http://www.jneurosci.org/content/31/36/12906.abstract?sid=2704774c-0cbd-4342-9b75-639b388b99f9 I hope that everyone got whatever gifts they desired this holiday season while I await the arrival of World Peace and the Strippers with cocaine. Maybe they'll get to me by New Year's day which will give me real reasons to celebrate a new year! ;-) -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
