Do I Know You? (A Hidden Brain-Revisionist History special on facial recognition)

Yes, yes, that's true. This happens to me all the time. I need to be exposed to a face, a person, on multiple occasions before their face becomes meaningful. Or even there, I don't know whether their face is becoming meaningful or that I'm developing so many other ways of recognizing them that I feel on safer ground.

Do I Know You? (A Hidden Brain-Revisionist History special on facial recognition)

No, there's no chance that I will. It's actually funny because I was sitting in my favorite coffee shop and I see this guy who runs the wine shop across the street. His name is Michael. I'd known Michael for years. And I see Michael, or I think it's Michael, and I see a Slender Man in his 50s, about 5'9", with glasses and a baseball cap, across the street from the wine shop.

And I think, oh, that's got to be Michael. And I go, Michael! And the guy looks at me like really weird and comes over. And it was like my nightmare. It was like, oh, my God, no, it's not. It's just another dude who's in town who looks a lot like Michael. But that was my system failed.

It's very rare for me to risk it like that. But I risked it because I thought if Michael thinks... I had the reverse JJ. If Michael thinks I'm ignoring him... then that's really bad because I go to the wine shop all the time and I like Michael.
