The Unforgettable Amnesiac — jamie found an account in the NYTimes of the life and death of one of the most important figures in modern neuroscience, Henry Gustav Molaison — a man who could not form memories. Molaison became an amnesiac after a brain operation in 1953. Known worldwide as H.M., Molaison was studied intensively for 55 years. Dr. Brenda Milner, a psychologist from Montreal, was the first researcher to visit Molaison. In 1962 she authored a landmark study demonstrating that a part of Molaison's memory was fully intact. "The implications were enormous. Scientists saw that there were at least two systems in the... [Tags: amnesiac, amnesic, brain operation, brain systems, brenda]

Inking by Numbers - Tattoos in Cape Town — Araminta De Clermont documents the prison tattoos of the Numbers Gangs from the Cape Town Flats. These men have literally covered themselves with tattoos, extending across their faces. She found many of her subjects roaming homeless in bus stations and soup kitchens; the same tattoos that marked them with respect inside prison, left them unemployable on the outside.

Washington To Obama, Morphed (VIDEO) — Someone took the time to morph all the faces of the 43 presidents and the one president-elect, into each other. It's interesting because it graphically makes a point made so often since Election Day and that will likely be made for a long time going forward, that President-elect Barack Obama gives the presidency a strikingly new and different look. Maurice Ravel's "Bolero" as a soundtrack wouldn't have been my choice. A better choice might have been a loop of the musical introduction of Aaron Copeland's "A Lincoln Portrait." Or how about "Hail to the Chief?"... [Tags: aaron copeland, barack obama, bolero, election day, faces]

Bags with FACES#8: An orange manbag — The least-thrilling and most occasional feature in internet history is back. Thankfully, due to how the pages work, it'll soon scroll away into oblivion and we can all say we don't remember it if anyone asks."A bag with a face. The Pretty Boy 5500 (XXL).

Talking Thumbs Commercial: Cute or Nightmarish? — Maybe I just have very little patience for creepy gadget commercials, but I still have to say: What were these marketing people thinking putting faces on thumbs?!

Immersion — NYT magazine has a video (above) on photographer Robbie Cooper's new project Immersion. From the write up of the slideshow:These images of kids playing video games were created by Robbie Cooper, a British photographer who employed a Red camera — a very-high-resolution video camera — and then took stills from the footage. Cooper, who says he was inspired by the camera technique that Errol Morris used to interview people in his documentaries, arranged his equipment so that the players were actually looking at a reflection of the game on a small pane of glass. He placed the camera behind... [Tags: blog, british photographer, camera technique, documentaries, errol morris]

Explanation For 'Face Blindness' Offered — For the first time, scientists have been able to map the disruption in neural circuitry of people suffering from congenital prosopagnosia, sometimes known as face blindness, and have been able to offer a biological explanation for this intriguing disorder. Currently thought to affect roughly two percent of the population, congenital prosopagnosia manifests as the lifelong failure to recognize faces in the absence of obvious neurological damage, and in individuals with intact vision and intelligence....
