#6.2: Prosopagnosia (aka: Face Blindness)

Sydnee Spruiell Eldridge & Jessica Oswald Season 6 Episode 2

This week, Syd & Jess are here to tell you all about a rare neurological condition called Prosopagnosia (more commonly known as face blindness). We're talking science and all about how the brain performs its own unique version of facial recognition software, so if you have trouble remembering faces, you're in good company!
