My mom (Parkinsonian dementia, as far as we can tell) is similar. I think adrenaline or some similar endocrine change temporarily affects the brain chemistry, skewing it toward normal. To me, this is interesting because it hints that her problem is chemical, not structural.
I hadn't thought of this until you mentioned it. There's a shareware (Windows) program called DPeg! which is meant to search for duplicates and near duplicates, and it includes all sorts of actual image-comparison settings. I think you could probably make a cropped picture of someone's face, and with loose enough settings, Dpeg could probably find other images of that person if the face was in the same orientation.

That means we're toast!
If you-all'd install PV panels a few inches off the roof, you'll get a dual benefit.
You'll have the equivalent of a "fly roof" (google it, I've only seen them in Australia) shading your real roof, and you get the electricity.
