"People think of the brain as one seamless intelligence, because that's how it feels to us from the inside," says Nancy Kanwisher, an MIT vision researcher. "But if you look at prosopagnosia, you start to realize that the brain may actually be a grouping of stand-alone computational machines that are wired together."

This is fascinating.
