Faceblindness & A Journey To Rediscover Your Brain Midlife

JUN 4, 202650 MIN

Description

Sadie Dingfelder spent decades not recognizing people who knew her and not knowing why. At 39, she found an explanation: she is faceblind. She talks with Anita about how that discovery sent her down a journalistic rabbit hole that led her to rewrite a lot of her past and come to a fundamentally new understanding of her brain. Plus, her husband Steve joins the conversation to talk about how Sadie’s new diagnoses — including having a severely deficient autobiographical memory — shape their life together.Meet the guests:- Sadie Dingfelder, science journalist and author of "Do I Know You? A Faceblind Reporter’s Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory and Imagination"- Steven Hay, engineer and Sadie's husbandRead the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied
