This message is intended to reply to Rachel Robbins' request, but it may be
of more general interest to others here.
The faces I have made available to a number of people for research are
indeed not available for publication, but a good alternative is to use
synthetic faces - we have produced some software (ID) here at Cape Town that
does a good job of producing highly realistic synthetic faces (not
identifiable by blind raters as synthetic faces at levels above chance). It
is very similar in many respects to the programs EVOFIT (Frowd and Hancock),
and EIGENFIT (Solomon and Gibson et al.)
I'll send you a couple of these if you are interested, Rachel.

Hi everyone,
I ran a study using some great faces from Colin Tredoux, but the faces
do not have permission for publication so I need just a few black
African faces that I can use to make example stimuli for the paper
(preferably black South African, but African-American or other parts
of African would do). If any one has some, or knows a database that
has some please let me know!
(The Cohn-Kanade database has some but they are not the ones available
for publication).
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm a PhD student working with Vicki Bruce and Debbie Riby at Newcastle Uni, looking at the profiles of those with Williams Syndrome and ASDs in interpreting emotions from faces. Nicola, there is an excellent faces database, that I think sounds like what you need (although might not quite have enough photos but could be a start!) here: http://www.socsci.ru.nl:8180/RaFD2/RaFD?p=overview. You have to request access to it but they're generally happy to grant it as long as you're using the database for academic research.
Hope that helps!

Hi all,
I think this list is a great idea; thanks for letting me join it!
Just a quick introduction...I worked with Debbie Riby as a research
assistant 2 years ago looking at attention to faces in Williams
Syndrome. I recently completed my MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at the
University of York where for my dissertation I looked at the
representation of shape and texture of faces in the brain, supervised by
Tim Andrews. I am just starting a PhD at Northumbria University looking
at neurocognitive performance in Type 2 diabetes, looking particularly
at the role of glycaemic control and task difficulty on recognition
memory.
I am in the initial stages of planning for my very first experiment and
am looking for a face image database of at least 100 different faces
(male and female, neutral expressions) which are high resolution,
frontal view colour photographs. I have looked through several databases
but they either do not have enough photos or the quality is not great.
If anyone has access to a set or could point me in the right direction,
I would be most grateful.
Thanks and best wishes to all,

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,

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.

Thanks and best regards
David

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
