Face Facts
Just read a very interesting article in Nature Neuroscience, summarized here.Basically, the researchers took a man who was cortically blind (ie. blind because of brain damage, rather than because of eye damage) and showed him pictures of faces displaying emotions (angry, happy, sad, fearful). In 'looking' at these pictures, the man was able to guess the emotion on the face far more often than would be expected by chance, despite not even being able to tell if the face was male or female.
Surprisingly, the man also spotted the gorilla.
