How long does it need for one to recognize a face ?


If I were to flash a picture of a celebrity for 100 milliseconds , can you recognize that face ? Now how about 20 milliseconds ? Well .. it could vary between images - Is that what you think ?

To do :

Okay .. recognition of a face is little complex . Lets get to the micro level - Numbers.
If I were to see the number plate ( a 6 digit alpha-numeric pattern ) of a vehicle for a split second, can I remember that for a while ? ( atleast store it in my short term memory ? )

Implications :
Does this in anyway help decrease the myth of photographic memory ? Oh wait .. Iam talking split second photographic memory . ( If ever that exists ... )
