Psychological research shows that faces generally become more attractive when they are blended with other faces towards the population average. APS Fellow Jamin Halberstadt, University of Otago, New Zealand, and coauthors at Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands and University of California, San Diego, USA found this effect to be puzzling, given the nature of morphed faces.

A team led by APS Fellows Terrie Moffitt, an ICPS Keynote speaker, and Avshalom Caspi observes that about half of the people who meet diagnostic criteria for one disorder also meet the diagnostic criteria for another disorder at the same time.

Despite sustaining damage to these brain areas, some people retain an unconscious ability to respond to visual stimuli -- an ability termed blindsight. Researches suggest that residual vision in people with blindsight may be due to massive reorganization of their visual system. The brains of very young children are highly plastic, allowing those who acquire brain damage early in life a better chance of compensating for the damaged structures and regaining lost functioning.
