In her Viewpoint paper, Meike Ramon proposes a stringent operational definition to identify people who excel at face identity recognition, i.e., super face identity recognizers (SFIR). Based on difficulties at defining cases of prosopagnosia and prosopdysgnosia, I suggest adding exclusion criteria and emphasizing domain-specificity of SFIR's performance. In future work to characterize this special population, implicit electrophysiological measures obtained during fast periodic visual stimulation may be particularly valuable, providing valid, objective, sensitive, and reliable indexes of face identity recognition.
在她的观点文章中，Meike Ramon 提出了一个严格的操作定义，以识别在面孔身份识别方面表现出色的人，即超级面孔身份识别者（SFIR）。基于在定义人面失认症和面孔失认症病例方面的困难，我建议添加排除标准，并强调 SFIR 表现的特定领域的特殊性。在未来对这一特殊人群进行特征描述的工作中，在快速周期性视觉刺激期间获得的内隐电生理测量可能特别有价值，为面孔身份识别提供有效、客观、敏感和可靠的指标。
