I will briefly echo others' thank you to Peter and simply state this will doubtlessly be an invaluable mechanism for all of us. And, yes, a web page with names and research interests is a wonderful idea.

Thanks Peter for setting up this list.
I do hope the list grows to a size where it will soon be impractical to have everyone introduce themselves. Maybe we need a web page that goes with this list where everyone can edit their profile (From an editor's point of view, that would be great!)
What I *really* hope is that the list can be used to build some bridges between people who are interested in face processing on both sides of the Altantic. I had the great pleasure of meeting some of my UK colleagues recently in Cardiff, and seems we (and our students) have a lot to gain from better efforts to understand each other's work and find opportunities to interact and even collaborate.

Hi everyone,
I think the idea of introductions is a great one. My main interest in
is how face (and object) processing changes with experience but I
study this from a range of perspectives.
My PhD was supervised by Elinor McKone and included a study on dog
experts. I then did a post-doc with Daphne Maurer and Terri Lewis
looking at normal and abnormal developmental changes in face and
object recognition (including studying cataract patients). My second
post-doc was with Max Coltheart and started investigating the relative
importance of heads versus bodies to recognising people. At this point
I also started setting up collaborations with Romina Palermo on
prosopagnosia. I am now a Research Lecturer at the University of
Western Sydney.
Looking forward to more posts,
Rachel Robbins
So, we've just reached our 100th member, welcome! That many introductions might be a bit much. I'm not sure off hand how to do a searchable site, but it can't be that hard; google probably has something.
Meanwhile, I've a paper just accepted in Perception:
Adaptation may cause some of the face caricature effect
One of the ways to demonstrate a caricature preference is to ask participants to adjust a face image over a range from anti-caricature to caricature until it shows the best likeness to a specific individual. Since facial adaptation, whereby exposure to a face influences subsequent perception of faces, is rapid, it is possible that adaptation promotes the selection of a caricatured image. We tested whether giving participants a reference average face image, to counteract any adaptation, would reduce the degree of caricature selected for famous faces. Results confirmed a significant decrease, but even without an average, participants chose an anti-caricatured image. These data suggest a role for adaptation in generating caricature preferences while also suggesting such preferences are not inevitable.

Debbie's message reminds me that one thing this list could be useful for
is to disseminate things worth knowing. Ayone who hasn't seen it should
check out Figure 1 in (p.2857) in Riby and Hancock (2008, Viewing it
differently: social scene perception in Williams syndrome and autism,
Neuropsychologia, 46, 2855-2860). It shows which parts of a scene get
fixated most by typically developing children, and for children with
autism or Williams syndrome. The result is very compelling! Good for
engaging your students' interest, too.
Cheers,
Andy.
Hello Everyone
I thought Andy's suggest was great, that we introduce ourselves and our interest in face perception when we join this new list - thanks for setting it up Peter.
I completed my PhD on face perception in Williams syndrome and Autism in the Faces Lab at Stirling University in 2007. I was supervised by Vicki Bruce and Gwyneth Doherty-Sneddon. I then worked with Peter Hancock on an ESRC grant that we held exploring attention to faces in these two neuro-developmental disorders.
Since March 2008 (exactly 3 years ago today!!) I have been a Lecturer in the School of Psychology at Newcastle University.
I am particularly interested in social perception and cognition in individuals with Williams syndrome and Autism and I have been exploring aspects of attention (or inattention in some cases) to faces, the use of typical (or atypical) gaze behaviours and the ability to interpret social / communicative signals (e.g. expressions of emotion, trustworthiness, eye gaze shifts). I am just about to start a new project funded by the British Academy to look at assessments of trust and approachability for faces in Williams syndrome.
I look forward to reading about everyone's interests in face perception on this list.
Best wishes

Hello everyone,
I just joined this list, and found no messages yet, so thought maybe those
of us who sign up might introduce ourselves.
I've been working on faces since 1974, when Hadyn Ellis told me to stop
messing about with Piagetian psychology and do something more interesting.
I reckon that now makes me one of those who has been doing this stuff for
longer than most, and Hadyn was right - it has got more and more
interesting over the years.
Thanks to Peter for starting this list, which I hope will be very useful
to us all.
Cheers,
Andy Young (sadly, now a misnomer).
