[nabs-l] Feeling faces: a myth or true?

[Marissa Tejeda]

True, but what I mean is, just in gEneral, would a blind person 
just feel a fe.

There might be some utility and feeling someone's face if you 
were an artist and they were your subject.

 I believe the concept got its start in Hollywood, though I'm not 
sure in which movie a blind character first did it.

 Same here.  But where did it even come from?

 It's a myth.  I have never felt someone's face nor have I known 
any blind person who has, although sighted people have on 
occasion invited me to feel their face if I needed to.  I don't 
know how it would help, but something in the idea of feeling the 
face of a stranger creeps me out.  (Smile)

 Hi guys,

 So, for a long time I've been want to know this, but never got 
around to asking.  I, personally, don't feel faces to know what 
people look like.  Do people really feel faces? How can it give 
someone a picture if they feel the face? Is this just a movie and 
a myth, or reality and true?
