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

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

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

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

Dear all,
first off, thanks to Peter for getting things going - I think this list is a great idea!
Also, I like the webpage suggestion and would be more than happy to create and host it. We can make a public and a private version of the page, so that contact details are only available to list subscribers. As for the content, I would envision a collection of links (e.g., labs, databases) as well as the member profiles. The profiles should be searchable and sortable and possibly might contain affiliation, bio, research interests, and key bibliography.
Of course, the final format is up to the list to decide :) - I am happy to help set up this resource...
As for my background, I graduated from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics working on computer vision & face recognition under the supervision of Heinrich Bülthoff. Together with my colleague Christoph Dahl, I also did a few studies comparing macaque and human face perception recently, which might be of interest to some on the list. My current interests lie in perception of facial expressions, comparing human and computer face recognition performance, as well as multi-sensory face recognition.
Best regards from Korea and hoping for a lively list
Christian

Even better if someone's already working on it :)
I like Elinor's keyword categories and think that this would be very helpful. In terms of the webpage, it would perhaps be nice to have - in addition to the networking functionality - some moderated extra pages that compile lists of useful links, review papers and books, teaching resources, etc. that could be accessed easily from the main page...
Cheers,
Christian

Now we have two, because I was contacted last night by Sarah Bate, who is apparently already developing a networking site, called, reasonably enough, 'Facenet'. She's got some local funding to establish it, so it probably makes sense to go with that; feel free to post suggestions about what would be useful and I'll leave it to Sarah to see what's feasible and announce when it's ready.

Hi Everyone
I am contacting you all on behalf of Professor Gillian Rhodes, from the University of WA, who is looking for some Asian faces (preferably Chinese) with unambiguous emotion expressions (anger, happy, neutral) for a research project investigating the effects of race and expression on the interpretation of eye-gaze. So far we have faced difficulties locating Chinese faces with expressions that fit our requirements; if anyone knows of any faces such information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

this is 3D, but contains emotions as well (500 people):
