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 *************************************************************** Regine Armann MPI for Biological Cybernetics Spemannstr. 38 72076 Tübingen Germany Tel: ++49-7071-601 631 regine.armann(a)tuebingen.mpg.de <mailto:regine.armann@tuebingen.mpg.de> _http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/nc/de/mitarbeiter/details/armann.html#=0_
