"There are people living among us who have a rare and perhaps valuable superpower – they never forget a face. We’re not just talking about being good at recognizing faces, we’re talking about an exceptional ability to recall details, even after just a brief glimpse at someone. Yet while this unusual trait has been known about for some time, new research has finally tested it – and the results are incredible."
Thanks to Dr. Russell Moul for writing about our work :-)
