• By analyzing each feature separately

• By processing them holistically

• By ignoring facial features

• By focusing only on the eyes

What is the Thatcher Illusion?

• A phenomenon where faces are recognized upside down

• A visual illusion where facial features appear normal when inverted

What is prosopagnosia?
