It probably could be trained. So I know Richard Davidson, he's done some studies looking at amygdala activation in autistic children, and they do have an amygdala that's dancing with activity whenever they look at eyes. So they have that, but it's not entirely known why. It probably has to do with the fusiform face area. So there's a region of the brain specialized for recognizing faces.

And so it has to do with that, but this is- Properly oriented faces only, right? Properly oriented faces, exactly.

It doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah. And to be frank, this area of the brain is also involved in dry classification of objects. So not only faces- Musical instruments? Probably. I think so. But it's more dry, so it goes like a guitar from a piano or something like that. It doesn't have that specification. To have specificity, you have to go higher up in the system.

So it has this more banal quality to it. And so obviously in visual processing,

you have a hierarchy of of of where it becomes more complex with each step of envision and then the highest so it goes then it goes to a point where you start classifying objects in the world that's the fusiform phase area and then after that you go to vernica which is more sort of meaning and purpose and then you go to things like the hippocampus which is involved in in things like memory uh so it goes from more simple stages of visual processing to

dry classification faces Dr. Peterson's from from Alex from Kim knowing different people So that's that's that part and then going to higher centers.

Right, exactly. They somehow don't attend to it, right? So they can draw a flower the whole day, but they only draw half of the flower. And you keep telling them and they say, well, I did my best, I'm drawing it, but they can't attend to that part of the brain. Right.

Mind you, the parietal lobes is involved in spatial orientation, knowing not only the body where it is in space, but also the spatial layout of the room, right? So it has that component. So it's a really strange disorder. And in order to understand how they are experiencing this at a subjective level is really critical. It's a mystery of sorts.
