Hi Kevin,
congratulations on the acceptance of your paper to JESP. Peter and I are on the process of finalising an ORB submission and it sounds like we should really be referencing your work. Would it be possible for us to read this paper,
Kind regards
Alex

Dear All,
Thanks to the organizers for setting up this list, I think it is a great idea.
My name is David Pitcher, I am a post-doc working in Nancy Kanwisher's lab at MIT. I use TMS and fMRI to study the neural correlates of face perception. My most recent paper is a review on the functional role of the occipital face area (OFA). You can download a copy from the link pasted below if you are interested.

Hello Everybody,
Firstly thank you Peter for starting this list; I am sure it will prove very useful to all involved.
I will also introduce myself. My name is Kevin, and I have been working in the area of face perception and recognition since my undergraduate degree. I am now writing up my doctoral thesis at the University of Birmingham, where I have been investigating how social categorization influences perceptual processing and memory for same-and other-race faces.
Within the last week, I am pleased to announce I have had my first set of PhD studies accepted for publication in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, where I investigated how social categorization influenced same-race and other-race processing in intra-or interracial contexts.
My research interests in face perception are broad, but mainly focus on two ideas: (1) How social information determines the form of processing and memory outcome for faces (2) How and why are faces categorized into groups? (Whether these are salient or non-salient group memberships). Anybody who is interested in my work, please feel free to contact me.
I also hope this list will prove useful in helping us form ideas, and even collaborations.
Kind Regards,
Kevin Cassidy

Hi everybody,
I am really glad of this face-list initiative and I will also take a chance
to introduce myself briefly.
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!
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).
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.
I join the others in hoping that this list can help building "bridges"
between face scientists, allowing us to share knowledge, ideas, and doubts.
A presto,
chiara

Dear face researchers --
Many of you will hopefully have received our notifications, but in
case you have missed them:
We are holding the 2011 Asia-Pacific Conference on Vision at the
University of Hong Kong, 15-18 July 2011. The conference covers all
aspects of vision from single-unit neurophysiology to visual
cognition, and we expect a decent number of presentations on faces and
objects. For more information, please see the following site:
http://www.apcv.net/
The deadline for submissions is Thursday this week (10 March) -- but
if you don't have time to prepare an abstract before then we could
probably accommodate you as long as you let me know before the
deadline that you're interested in making a submission.
Hope to see you in Hong Kong!
Best
Will

Good morning everyone
I'm very excited to be part of this list. As an introduction, I am Lisa Parr, working on comparative social cognition in nonhuman primates, evaluating species differences as a means for assessing human specializations. My take on social cognition has focused on how monkeys and apes process identity and expression from faces. I have been at the Yerkes National Primate Reserach Center in Atlanta, GA since 1992, when I joined the lab of Dr. Frans de Waal as a research technician. I graduated from Emory with a PhD in Psychology in 2000. My thesis explored emotional behavior and expression in chimpanzees. For the last several years, our work has been dedicated towards understanding similarities and differences in the face processing of chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys. Our subjects perform computerized tasks where they are required to match faces based on a number of dimensions. We have studied inversion effects, composite effects, individual recognition, specific changes in facial viewpoint, contrast reversal, thatcher illusions, expression and identity categorization and most recently we have been working with Peter and his team to identify the physical features that differentiate the faces of monkeys and apes differ using PCA analysis and face composites.
It might be interesting to some on this list that we have developed two nonhuman primate FACS systems, a ChimpFACS and a MaqFACS (rhesus macaques) in collaboration with researchers in both the US and UK. These can be found on my website.
http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~lparr/index.html
I'm looking forward to "meeting" and interacting with everyone.
sincerely
Lisa

Hi everyone,
I'll also take the chance to introduce myself, as a very junior member
of the group (great idea, it's a shame we haven't had something like
this until now...).
I just completed my PhD on face perception at the Max Planck Institute
for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, in Heinrich Bülthoff's
Department, mainly supervised by Isabelle Bülthoff. In my thesis, I
explored different aspects of how faces are processed and encoded, using
psychophysics, eye-tracking, and a high-level adaptation approach (this
study I did in Gillian Rhodes' FaceLab in Perth). Currently, I am
working on projects about how the sex of faces is represented in the
brain (using an fMRI adaptation paradigm) and about cultural differences
in eye-movements, together with colleagues from the Department of Brain
and Cognitive Engineering at Korea University.
And, I am looking for a post-doc position - so if anyone has anything to
offer, please think of me :-). I would be particularly interested in
studying how face processing and encoding (in healthy and maybe impaired
individuals) is shaped by experience. But since our field offers a lot
of interesting questions to tackle, there might be other projects just
as exciting…
Looking forward to more face-related posts/discussions/exchange,
Best,
Regine

I am really glad of this face-list initiative and I will also take a chance
to introduce myself briefly.
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!
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).
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.
I join the others in hoping that this list can help building "bridges"
between face scientists, allowing us to share knowledge, ideas, and doubts.
A presto,
chiara

Hi Mike,
I work here at Stirling and recently submitted a grant proposal with Peter Hancock to develop an affective image data set. We would be extremely keen to review the video materials you mention, even if the actual footage is a little dated it will certainly help us to develop more current materials,
best wishes
Alex

Hi All,
Just wanted to intoduce myself. I'm probably the most junior member here!
Currently I'm working on my undergraduate disstertation looking at methods
to reduce the other race effect. I'm supervised by Peter Hancock who has
also employed me on summer bursaries here at Stirling University. I'm
interested in several aspects of face recognition other than the other race
effect especially failures in face processing and processing differences
between familiar and unfamiliar faces.
I'm hoping to do a face research related PhD as soon as I graduate this
summer.
Best,
Catherine
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
