Dear All,
I am delighted to announce that Tim Andrews and Andy Young have been awarded
a 3-year project grant funded by Wellcome Trust. The title and abstract of
the grant are copied below. I am sure you will all join me in
congratulating Tim and Andy on this award. I would also like to thank them
for all the hard work they have put in to applying multiple times for
external funding. It is reassuring to know and a pleasure to see that all
their efforts have now paid off.

The Neural Basis of Familiar Face Perception
The aim of this proposal is to understand further the neural processes
involved in the recognition of familiar faces. It is well established that
while people are very good at identifying familiar faces (even from very low
quality images), whereas performance in recognition or matching of
unfamiliar faces is poor. The main objective of this proposal is to compare
and contrast how structural information about familiar and unfamiliar faces
is represented in the human brain using fMRI in combination with recent
developments in computer graphics and image analysis.
