Excellent, volunteers are always good.  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.

Wow, Christian, that is a wonderful offer!
Re searchability, I think it would be good to have key words to
describe each person's research under headings. For example, this
might be:
1. Methods: (choose one or more of)
                Behavioural
                fMRI
                ERP
                Other brain imaging (eg. DTI)
                Single cell
                Computational modelling
                Others: specify
2. Populations: (choose one or more of)
                Human adults -- typical
                Human children -- typical
                Aging / Elderly
                Prosopagnosia -- acquired
                Prosopagnosia -- developmental;
                Autism Spectrum Disorder
                Other disorders where face processing is affected
                Monkeys
                Animals other than primates
                Others: specify
3. Theoretical topics: (choose one or more of)
                Identity
                Expression
                Gaze
                Holistic processing / configural processing
                Face-space
                ...etc, etc, etc !!
If people think this general approach would be a good idea, they might
care to expand the lists above (which are just based on what I came up
with in 10 mins).
The general aim would be that, for example, if one wants to find
colleagues or potential collaborators who do behavioural work on gaze
processing in monkeys, or expression recognition in Autism, then
keyword searching would be a useful tool for doing this.
Best,
Elinor

  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
