Super Recognizers, Brain Structures, and Food Selectivity
This chapter explores the concept of super recognizers, the structure and functions of the brain, and the brain's ability to recognize and categorize food visually. It discusses the possibility of other brain regions taking over face recognition, presents findings of the main types of responses in the visual cortex, including food, and discusses the hypothesis that common perceptual properties may link different types of food. The chapter also mentions experiments involving scanning people's brains while showing them pictures of cakes that look like other objects.
