In September 2011 BU’s Dr Sarah Bate was invited to talk at a Face-Blindness Open Day at Birkbeck College. The event was attended by people with prosopagnosia (face blindness) from all over the world and the media. The other keynote speakers were big names in the face processing world: Brad Duchaine (Dartmouth College), Tim Valentine (Goldsmiths) and Martin Eimer (Birkbeck).
You can watch an excellent video of Sarah’s presentation here:
