Crossing and Slicing Mental Connections

So today we heard about this syndrome where you can't recognize people's faces. Or at least you know that they seem to look like someone you know, except you believe they're fakes!

We also heard about phantoms! Ghosts limbs. Interesting.

Then we heard about crossing the senses in this condition where your senses are crossed. You hear colour. You smell colour. Etc. I've heard about this one before. Very interesting. Funny how he mentioned that it's quite apparent in artists.

Prosopagnosia. It was briefly hinted at in the beginning, but it wasn't explicitly mentioned. I just wanted to type it out since it's a neat word (and a strange syndrome). Funny that I learnt about it first in a game.
