“It’s late spring. It’s the time to have an evening drink in the garden, a relaxing walk in the forest filled with singing birds and to open the windows during the first warm nights.
Bzzzz…
But the peaceful mood is gone when we hear a mosquito flying past our ear.
Our best chance of killing the mosquito seems to be when they land on us, hopefully before they “bite”*.
Why are they so difficult to swat when flying?“
“Have you ever realised how good we are at recognising each other’s faces?
We are able to do so since birth and, with normal every-day experience, we get even better at it. Our faces differ in many respects: the shape of the nose or mouth, eye colour, eye distance, and many other features. But we don’t view them separately. Our brains process human faces holistically – as a whole that is more than just the sum of its parts. For example, we can easily tell different noses apart when they are added to a picture of a face, but have much more difficulty when looking at the noses alone.
We are not the only species that process faces in a holistic manner.“
