Re: [Face-research-list] Building bridges

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. regards Isabel Gauthier Vanderbilt University Editor, JEP:General (http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/xge/) On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 1:53 PM, <face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk Send Face-research-list mailing list submissions to face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.stir.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/face-research-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk You can reach the person managing the list at face-research-list-owner(a)lists.stir.ac.uk When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Face-research-list digest..."

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). ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 15:31:15 +0000 From: Debbie Riby <d.m.riby(a)newcastle.ac.uk> Subject: [Face-research-list] Hi To: "'Face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk'" <Face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk> Message-ID: <72E8011D16097C49A1C0C040DC9ECD17E62EDAD62B(a)EXSAN01.campus.ncl.ac.uk Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" 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.
