And only later are they brought together in the right hemisphere.
Well, yeah, we're used to that typical way that we see it in the mirror.
And so I think it's not that people don't recognize themselves, but it's more that something looks off.
You're like, that's me, but not quite me.
Yeah.
So that varies from person to person, but we do find that there are some things that can influence the intensity of the distortion.
So I mentioned VS as well as the South African man we work with.
For reasons we still don't understand, if they were to look through, say, a green color filter,
the faces look much more normal to them.
On the other hand, if they look through a red color filter, the distortions are amplified.
So I remember the first time that I tested VS, when I handed him a red color filter to look at my face, he took a deep breath because he knew that he was going to be seeing a really intensely distorted face.
So color can influence these distortions.
Yeah, so there are a number of theoretical questions that we can address with people with PMO.
We mentioned earlier about this representation of the two halves of the face being separate.
That's something we learned from PMO.
Another thing we're able to look at with PMO is the specificity of visual recognition.
And so in some of the individuals we work with, for example, V.S.,
The only thing that he sees that's distorted is the face.
And so that provides really good evidence that this face network we've talked about is specialized for processing faces and faces only.
And so we show people thousands of images and we see, do they see distortions to anything other than a face?
