Here's a dandy that popped into my e-mail recently:

Men who are fanatical about cars identify vehicles using the same
brain circuitry used to recognise faces, new research shows.

Forty men, half of whom were proven automobile aficionados, were
fitted with sensors to monitor electrophysiological activity in part
of the brain linked with facial identification. They were then asked
to identify faces and cars, individually and then together.

I had read, a long time ago, that in judging faces, people are attracted first to the symmetry of the face. It is interesting, then to consider just how few cars are assymetrical in design.
