team science

Here we introduce ManyFaces, a recently formed big team science group for face perception and face recognition research. This symposium will introduce the scope and aims of ManyFaces and highlight the work of two of the working groups within ManyFaces: stimulus meta-database and stimulus collection.

This asynchronous workshop will introduce the tools and resources for organising communication and information for a new big team science project. The workshop is an online book with Spanish and Turkish translations.

Broadly, the aim of ManyFaces is to improve, diversify, and crowdsource key aspects of face research, including perception and recognition. This involves, for example, the collection and use of face stimuli; sharing existing stimulus sets; standardising stimulus collection procedures; and organising stimulus collection across multiple labs to obtain larger and more diverse face stimulus sets. ManyFaces also aims to crowdsource data collection across our members’ labs to test key research questions in face perception and recognition, enabling larger-scale designs and more diverse participant samples and generalisable findings. Finally, we aim to organise training workshops for key methods (e.g., morphing) and analyses (e.g., mixed effects models) used in face research.

How large-scale collaborations such as the Psychological Science Accelerator can improve both replicability and generalisability.
