I saved a copy of a Scientific American "Computer Recreations"
article from ~ 3 years ago ( I did not write the issue date on the
copy :-( ) by A.K. Dewdney.   In the article, he describes the
master's thesis of Susan Brennan at MIT.   Susan (at the date of
the article was a staff scientist at HP Labs in Palo Alto) developed 
a program to experiment with "her interest in the cognitive processes 
underlying face recognition."
