Brain scans reveal how we learn to accept a new face as our own
NCT ID NCT03027141
Summary
This study used brain scans to understand how people who receive face transplants come to recognize their new appearance as their own. Researchers scanned four participants' brains before and after surgery while they looked at pictures of their old face, their injured face, and their new transplanted face. The goal was to see how brain activity changes as someone adjusts to seeing a completely different face in the mirror.
