Not it has not changed a bit sadly, but I can't complain too my relator is one of my favourites professor, though this is kind of a second choice because she teaches General psychology, the 1st you study when get into college, and I'm more into neuroscience but i got to do something interesting anyway, so I'm happy even if it's gonna be a long work I will try to look something on youtube and post it, if it's in english or with subtitles Thank you Marilyn I'm learning new stuff everyday too, i fave the link to this thread to my relator too, if she will ever read something will ad it that too, anyway there is enough material to study and write on but you have to know where to look for it, most of the time is inside the different colleges or research lab and so most of the time you have to pay to read it, for subscription or downloads, it occurs bè tweet the 10 and 20 years for something to ne published on books for something more than just a mention, for now i have a few article s from the magazine brain an italian ebook specific on Prosopagnosia and a copule of thesis were there are some chapters that i coul use I'll try to post some screen of the english ones I think it's better for you to see face characters and not recocognize them instead of seeing just face shapes with out characters that must be really terrifying, I remembered i had a nightmare once where people around me had question mark instead of their faces, I al most cried when i woke up! For the object shape test and memory test you have to try the gestalt tests on perception and see wich one you fail, I think it would be really useful, to know if you have problems only in interlinked figures or something else too It's about communication for sure, i hope to find something useful in the material I have Come back whenever you want

Eh ti capisco, io ho la pretesa di finire tutto entro luglio figurati come sto messa, infatti posso scrivere solo a tarda notte Ormai ci vediamo presto e tranquilla anche io ai tempi ero una timidona, ma passa subito

Ho visto dopo il link sul post del gruppo comunque davvero ogni volta che lo vedo rido XD Ma di sicuro, ultimo respiro di libertà quindi me la voglio godere Ciao Iole! Mi fa piacere conoscerti qui in anteprima prima di Napoli, benvenuta nel gruppo delle matte diciamo eccentriche quanto meno dai, avremo sicuramente modo di conoscerci meglio e divertirci Grazie per i complimenti l'argomento è particolare e sicuramente interessante, fai psicologia anche tu? Se vuoi puoi intervenire nella discussione, più siamo ed interveniamo meglio è! Comunque ci vedremo presto oramai

Grazie Mari, si è molto interessante, ti ho risposto anche di là come al solito farò del mio meglio anche se dopo Napoli sarò di clausura per mesi L'ho vista pure io ma su fb, è fatta molto bene nella sua sottigliezza, mi piacerebbe sapere chi l'ha pubblicata

I'll never thank you enough for all the things you write, you express your condition very well and is an infinite source of inspiration to me personally! There are a few of different types of prosopagnosia, as all neuropsychological disorders can change in different aspects from a person to another such as Associative Prosopagnosia, Apperceptive Prosopagnosia, Developmental Prosopagnosia, and those are just some examples, I'll try to explain better another time cause I'm still going through all the material I have especially the english ones, but believe me I'm really thankful for you to being so open Thank you Mari, it's helpful for me too, a lot indeed!

Yeah it's really a good thing, also because for my personal way to work it's almost impossible for me to work on something I don't like, so it's way better for me this way, anyway I wouldn't have had help in any case because I'm in open number class at college, so it's already a challenge to find the relator for your thesis, be followed and helped just comes after, but I'm happy with how the thing are going for now, this forum and other things are helping me a lot! I'm sad to hear about how did it go for you, it happened the same thing to me in highschool, but in that case I held hard and I continued to do what I wanted, unfortunately they have taken away many points in my final vote even though I had done a great job and not only on my accounts but also by the external teachers opinions, anyway it's done now I hope this time i'll be more lucky For the library thing I think it is the same way as mine at college, that needs subscription but go on and a list if you can, it surely won't do any harm This is always so interesting for me too! I heard about the finding object situation as a consequence in prosopagnosia I must have surely something in my material, think it's in english too, and also something about TBC and genetic aspects, I'll look with more attention and let you, if I upload a scan of a page in a JPG file as a normal photo will you be able to see it with your tablet? Thanks also for explaining the guides thing, i was almost there , and for what concerns black people perception of voices I think it's normal, because it's not easy even for person without disorders, for you it's even more also because it's not part of your cultural background, so you don't have any kind of hint or basis for wich you can construct a recognition model. And also your husband message is lovely and so inspired, you two must love each other a lot he's really kind and helpful and caring for you and your condition and also well informed because all he said is correct it's the step between what the eyes see and what you perceive when it comes to the brain, this part of the process in prosopagnosia is defective as if information is lost on the way.

Sorry for the time when I'm posting but I had a rough day in libraries looking for books I need for the next exams!! I realised I had the beginnning of the interview to Brad Pitt only in italian but I have found a couple of nice articles in english too, here they are: Does Brad Pitt suffer from face blindness? (CNN) http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/23/showbiz/celebrity-news-gossip/brad-pitt-esquire-face-blindness/ Brad Pitt's Not Egotistical, He's 'Face Blind' http://www.medpagetoday.com/CelebrityDiagnosis/39420 I'm also posting a couple of other articles on Prosopagnosia in english wich are general in the topic but I find pretty well done The Atlantic Living With Face Blindness http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/09/living-with-face-blindness/279898/ Wired Face blind http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/14.11/blind_pr.html Hope you'll find it interesting, now I think I'll go to sleep, 'night!

I see, my bad and sorry for asking that way, but I can understand how is it to deal with not so easy to explain medical condition, although I'm pretty young I've lived it with other people in my family and I'm still living it too, it sucks but something will be found sooner or later, anyway thanks for telling Dunno exactly what Brownie Guiders are but I guess it's some kind of adult guide as you see in associations like the scouts or something like that, but it always surprise me how kids are that smart even when they are so little, and sometimes they're even brutally honests because they do not realize it, i can see how hard was it for you anyway. I admired a lot too how Mika was open about his condition and his life bakrounds and past experiences, I even did an essay on my as my thesis in my highschool senior year I worked months on that, and was really appreciated from lots of people and most of my professors, I think I'll put the same efforts in these even if they're totally different things I think also as you do that people who suffers a lot somohow in life later they're the best you can found because they've passed through something that most of common people cannot easily understand. I like Brad Pitt as actor too, I'm going to upload the interview right away

I see, it's a pity because if you were nearer to London nowadays in specialized center there are group therapy for any kind of disorder and research and studies you can partecipate in, I'm also going to ask material with my professor reccomandation from the prosopagnosia reasearch centre website you gave me with the test you took, anyway anything involved in the neuroscience field is making big strides so any other day something new could be found, it's a pretty recent field of reasearch and whole section of disorders that have been discorvered that there is a lot to study for many many years ahed. Of course doctors are not updated on this new kind of diseases, it's their own field and in general medicine the updating classes are made only when they are mandatory from hospitals or from international institutions, there's a difference they teach you when you get admitted in psychology, the difference between a doctor, a psychiatrist and a psychologist mainly in the attitude, the following method and in the updating of course Dunno from many years ago was this episodo with that neurologist, but you should call him and tell him he is an idiot Thank you Giovi! My choice is for personal interest, this disorder was just mentioned in a book when I did my 1st exam in my 1st year at college, General psychology 1st, and I thought it was nice to deepen this topic, I'm not doing master degree but just 1st grade deegre in psychological sciences and techniques, this is a non sperimental thesis, so i think it's defined compilative or bibliographic, infact in the 1st degree you don't even still have the chance to discuss your thesis you just have to do it, agreeing with your relator and get your mark for your study (wich normally is always the higher so you have a higher deegre mark) so I thought following a sperimental one for this degree was just too much. If you'd like to help I'm glad, for now I'm just trying to find some interesting stuff in italian because I've lots of stuff to translate from english, and it's not gonna be so easy so if you find something feel free to share it

P.s. If I'm doing any kind of mistakes in express my self in english feel free to say it anyone I always try to keep doing better but I'm a lil down with training

Thank you! It's always interesting to read what you have to say Marylin e speciale for me cause I can recall what I've studied through these years at college, and also great material i can include in my thesis is so different to interact with someone Who truly lives it instead of study always the same clinical cases, some are pretty boring too , lately I'll upload the interview to Brad Pitt and other stuff I found trying to keep it on a General ground and not to go too specific in the neuroscience field, but guess how is hard for Brad with all those kids and all the different people he has to meet and work with every day!! About your meeting with Mika and not recognising him I remembered also the first time we spose about it in the XL La Repubblica thread and he had just cut his hair short, and of course it was a problem for you in the beginning, imagine you walking around for London maybe in Hyde Park and meet him with Mel walking if he doesn't speak you will just keep going your way would be such a pity! One last thing I did some study at a neuroscience lab in my college on TMS, the brain trans magnetic stimulation, have you ever partecipated in this kind of studies? It's normally a procedure used to map the brain, i even tried it once too, was pretty fun to see a map of my brain in some normal accomplishing different operations it just gives a lil itchy nose LOL but it was fun!

Ciao a tutte!! Chi non muore si rivede purtroppo non ho più tanto tempo di bazzicare qui in giro comunque ogni tanto è carino rispuntare e fare un saluto, ciao anche a tutte le nuove che non conosco Poi volevo anche dire che ho appena aperto un thread sulla Prosopagnosia, mio argomento di tesi, insieme a Marilyn Mastin nella sezione General chin, venite a dare un occhio se vi va http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4008726#post4008726 Ma guarda chi è tornato?!! Ciao Giuli come stai?!!!

I cannot even understand how is to deal with it normally, cannot imagine how it was with having a diagnosis, but i can understand Why is better with knowing the condition of it P.s. I even know now that Brad Pitt suffers from it, so you're in good company Sorry for asking Kezza are you suffering for this condition too, or know someone Who suffers from it? Thank you!

Thanks Kezza & of course Thanks Marilyn for open this thread!! You've done wonderful with the first post I think you explained even better than what i could have done. Hi everyone I'm Francesca, I'm going to get a college degree in psycology hopefully the next september, and I'm just starting to write this thesis on Prosopagnosia as my final essay i truly hope this topic may get many people interest. Here it is a sample of the points about how I thought I'd set this essay: -Alessia,prosopagnosia, Agnosia: differences -Prosopagnosia appercettiva, associative Prosopagnosia, developmental Prosopagnosia -Face blindness disorder, the problem of recognizing faces -clinical cases -how to live everyday life who suffer from prosopagnosia -conclusions -bibliography I will include the face blindess disorder test too and I have some material in englisg to post if it's interesting for anyone. In the last point s I'm going to resume the experience of everyday people with this kind of disorder, something that goes beyond the standard clinical cases, also because the research material involves most people with brain damages or other disorders that lead to Prosopagnosia, that's also why the study about it are so recent. Anyway i truly hope this project will took off! I'm also going to spread the words among my fb Mfc friends and on the italian thread

Yeah u r right it works better, but is it the same channel were they're playing videoclips one after another right?

Found this for VH1 streaming live http://www.stream2watch.me/live-tv/vh1-live-stream? only thing the last two adds won't go away but u can see the channel properly if u put the vid window at full screen

The italian version doesn't hold account with the english one at all, not surprised though, great column indeed, the way he explains some kind of topic, it just keeps u there till u finished to read it, kudos

Ma ciao!!

È tanto che non passo da qua, mea culpa , ma gli auguri di un felice e sereno Natale a voi e tutte le vostre famiglie ve li faccio di tutto cuore!! Un bacione!
