Specialized brain regions for recognizing faces and music

Neuroscientist Nancy Kanwisher discusses her research on the brain's specialized regions for recognizing faces and music. She explains that recognizing faces is a complex process involving multiple brain regions, all of which need to interact and share information. Kanwisher also talks about finding a region in the brain dedicated to responding to food, even though visually, different food items have little in common. She explains that artificial neural networks have been helpful in understanding these specialized areas, and discusses ongoing research exploring the communication between different brain regions.
