Our paper "Persistent prosopagnosia following COVID-19" in which we report on a young woman losing her ability to recognize faces is now available under this link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1godU2VHY8G60 #COVID19 #LongCovid #Faceblindness #prosopagnosia

@neuro_steel @UofIllinois Just saw this now, this is amazing! Congrats, Adam!

Excited to see our work on prosopometamorphopsia (face distortions) highlighted in this new piece! It's been a thrilling journey, and there's more to come! @sciam @DartmouthPBS

Interested in face processing? Excited about developing a research program involving psychophysics, neuropsychology, perceptual development, and individual differences? The Social Perception Lab @DartmouthPBS (PI: Brad Duchaine) is searching for a postdoctoral fellow!

@Louise243 Thanks for reaching out! There can be an overlap of symptoms with other problems people might be experiencing, e.g. a person with dementia not recognizing people; doesn't necessarily mean they have prosopagnosia because a different explanantion can be given. #moreResearchNeeded

@mlkieseler I read an article mentioning your research into prosopagnosia, which refers to links with Alzheimer's, brain trauma/damage, encephalitis, Covid. Don't think #prosopagnosia's listed as a trait in DSM-V, but anecdata suggests link with #autism spectrum. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

“Persistent prosopagnosia following COVID-19” by Marie-Luise Kieseler et al. Cortex doi.org/10.1016/j.cort…

Published a paper in Cortex! #COVID can lead to problems with face recognition and navigation. #LongCovid #faceblind #prosopagnosia sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Facial recognition and navigation difficulties are some of the persistent issues that can result from #LongCovid , findings published in Cortex by #guarini PhD student Marie-Luise Kieseler in Brad Duchaine's lab in @DartmouthPBS

@eknahm @alex_ander I think "Weltschmerz" could be used for this feeling. Is it slightly over the top? Yes. Is it accurate? Also yes.

@alex_ander Oh no! I know the feeling, but I cannot immediately think of a word. There should be a German word for when you realize that your thought-to-be-perfect language has failed you.

there should be a german word for the feeling when you listen to an album you have fond memories of but one of the mp3’s in your old copy was corrupted and now there’s a whole new song that wasn’t there before and you feel slightly betrayed but also excited

@jacasiegel would like to join, too, please.

I've started a WFH accountability/motivation group on Slack. There are channels for goal setting, memes, pets, mental health, etc. If any grad students/postdocs want to join, DM me, and I will send you an invite :)

@AdinaKrik well, maybe that's a way of making sure that nobody catches if the author made some errors in their analysis 🧐😂

Sometimes I think back to the time I asked authors for data (wanted to test a ported algorithm by reproducing their results), and, after months, got a single "raw data" .mat file with an undocumented 6000-dimensional MatLab struct & a "can't help with interpretation, sorry" 🙃

@dustinvtran Thank you!

@mlkieseler Yeah! Keyword is Omega headphone stand. There are a lot of manufacturers.

How I spent this weekend: upgrading my battlestation.

Imagine looking at a face and one half starts melting and drooping down like a Dali painting! This is what happens to people with Hemi-PMO. In collaboration with Jorge, my lab mate Sarah Herald and PI Brad Duchaine published a paper on it in Current Biology.

@neuroMDL Peach Liquor! There is also this gorgeous entremet recipe that asks for peaches. Just use less sugar in the panna cotta. chefiso.com/p/milk-peach-e…

Things that eat up my time in September: 4. start of semester 3. child #2 2. child #1 1. my 🍑 tree.

@sara_bee @gender_is_fake Hi Sara, severe difficulty recognizing people's faces is assumed to occur in 0.5% to 2% of the population without them ever having experienced any brain trauma or injury or infection. We call it developmental prosopagnosia. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions

Since 2 ppl have now told me they would act differently if they knew this, an FYI: I’m 3 months recovered from Covid & my sense of taste is STILL totally off So if the greater good/yr personal health don’t matter to you...What about the risk of GARLIC TASTING WEIRD INDEFINITELY?

@gender_is_fake Hi Kade, I stumbled upon your reply and wanted to reach out. I study acquired faceblindness for my PhD and wanted to offer that you can reach out if you have any questions or would like more information. Feel free to check out our website faceblind.org

@sherlyholmes @pookleblinky I know this is a haha tweet, but I’ve got faceblindness now. I can’t recognize my family. I walked right past my dad and didn’t know who he was. They don’t think I’ll ever be able to properly see faces again, which means when I get married or have kids, I won’t know their faces.
