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 &lt;d.m.riby(a)newcastle.ac.uk&gt; Subject: [Face-research-list] Hi To: &quot;&#39;Face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk&#39;&quot; &lt;Face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk&gt; Message-ID: < 72E8011D16097C49A1C0C040DC9ECD17E62EDAD62B(a)EXSAN01.campus.ncl.ac.uk&gt; 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.

To: "Face Research List" &lt;face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk&gt; Message-ID: &lt;44c9f7c4dfab5a76b1a1e3fd4de7bbb1.squirrel(a)psycmail.york.ac.uk&gt; Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8 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. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 17:47:22 -0000 From: Colin Hamilton &lt;colin.hamilton(a)northumbria.ac.uk&gt; Subject: Re: [Face-research-list] Hello To: Face-research-list &lt;Face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk&gt; Message-ID: &lt;5D156E3D28E0AA41A29C93F4F245D8A30EBE1165(a)EVS-DAY.campus.unn.ac.uk&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello I should follow Andy promptly as I am one of the more recent recruits to the field despite having discussed some face research issues with Andy at Durham many (many) years ago. My interest lies in the perception-visual working memory interface, and in particular the short term representation of fine, coordinate or high fidelity, information. A paper by Scolari, Vogel and Awh prompted my interest in face visual memory by alluding to tantalising interactions with perceptual processes. I am not sure those interactions exist but my motivation continues. I am exploring the perceptual-memory interface within the context of the other race effect, and with Debbie Riby at Newcastle University, exploring the overlap of coordinate perceptual processes with face 2nd order spatial processes within a developmental context. I also look forward to hearing of the particular research interests of the face group members.
