Prosopagnosia, [2] also known as face blindness, [3] is a cognitive disorder of face perception in which the ability to recognize familiar faces, including one's own face (self-recognition), is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing (e.g., object discrimination) and intellectual functioning (e.g., decision-making) remain intact.

This was the first evidence for a double dissociation between face and object processing suggesting a face-specific processing system.

Can COVID-19 cause face blindness? A new case study finds evidence of prosopagnosia and other neuropsychological problems in a 28-year-old long-COVID patient. Woman develops 'face blindness' at 28.

For some pairs, the experimenter used sleight of hand to show participants a face they had not chosen. Only 26% of subjects noticed the mismatch ...
Prosopometamorphopsia (PMO [1]), also known as demon face syndrome, [2] is a visual disorder characterized by altered perceptions of faces. In the perception of a person with the disorder, facial features are distorted in a variety of ways including drooping, swelling, discoloration, and shifts of position.
