<div class="gmail_quote">Hi everybody,
<div><br></div>
<div>I am really glad of this face-list initiative and I will also take a chance to introduce myself briefly.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My name is Chiara, I have worked on the recognition of emotional facial expressions since my undergraduate thesis - I am now completing my first post-doc -, and I am so fond of the topic that I wish to stay in the field of faces for many more years!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>During my PhD I focused on some aspects of the expressions' recognition ability that can be captured by using naturalistic dynamic displays (i.e. the existence of a dynamic advantage for facial expressions, or the ability of the observer to rely on the dynamic invariants of facial expressions).</div>
<div>As a Post-doc at UCL, I am investigating facial expression recognition as a part of the Broad Autism Phenotype in Relatives, asking whether subtle abnormalities in perceiving facial expressions are a shared cognitive feature in families with children with Autism.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I join the others in hoping that this list can help building "bridges" between face scientists, allowing us to share knowledge, ideas, and doubts.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A presto,</div>
<div><br></div>

<br>I've been working on faces since 1974, when Hadyn Ellis told me to stop<br>messing about with Piagetian psychology and do something more interesting.<br> I reckon that now makes me one of those who has been doing this stuff for<br>
longer than most, and Hadyn was right - it has got more and more<br>interesting over the years.<br><br>Thanks to Peter for starting this list, which I hope will be very useful<br>to us all.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Andy Young (sadly, now a misnomer).<br>
