[Face-research-list] Stimulus links

CNBC maintains are fairly extensive stimulus repository, including the 
tarrlab face stimuli (face-place.org). See:

http://stims.cnbc.cmu.edu/

I am happy to add links to other databases if you send me the link and 
short description. Moreover, if you have a database of stimuli you would 
like to distribute, we are happy to host it - we have a very extensive 
and well maintained server system, so we do provide a stable and secure 
locale for keeping such things (e.g., URL won't change once set, etc.)

Secondly, for anyone collecting face images with affect, please see the 
face-place images. We used a method suggested by Alice O'Toole - having 
subjects watch movies and video taping them in the process. Using the 
right movie clips, we are able to prompt very realistic expressions - 
much more compelling than the FACS faces (which look like cartoons). We 
have a CD of movies clips and a protocol that one is welcome to use, but 
it is probably dated in that the clips are now 5 or so years old and 
maybe not what is currently considered funny or scary or disgusting (and 
maybe never were in the UK)

Best, Mike
