There's an area of the brain called the fusiform face area which, despite its name, may actually be an area that's involved in visual expertise rather than face

There's an area of the brain called the fusiform face area which, despite its name, may actually be an area that's involved in visual expertise rather than faces per se: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusiform_face_area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusiform_face_area
This is interesting in that I imagine this is similar to visual expertise rather than faces as such - I presume you could train a model to see areas of images as birds in the same way.
Trying to suggest a serious link between the two is a bit ridiculous - rather like the idea that plants which look like dogs can heal dog bites (which is itself a form of over-recognition!) - but I find the parallel curious.
