Here’s a place to collect gifs of the P - Eye-Centric signal, which is described thusly: “The torso is pulled in the direction of the head, which in turn is pulled in the direction of the eyes."
The gifs don’t need to show just this one signal in isolation, necessarily – as long as the relevant signal is clear.
Edit: Here's a gif of Amy Lee, who is in the database as NeFi l---, exhibiting the eye-centric signal.

I had originally posted the gif below of Amy, who is in the database as FiNe l---. In the discussion below it became clear that this isn't really a good example of eye-centricity because although her head moves with her eyes, her torso is not moved by her head.

I don't understand why the first gif shows P-2: isn't the torso unaffected?

@nintheme True, the torso doesn't look affected, but it does appear that the head is following the eyes. I'm not sure whether both are required for it to count or not?

Recently i renamed Face-Centric as "Body Centric" in the latest codifier, because of this confusion about the torso. The torso is most central, yes. I think there was some interesting discussion about it here-- https://cognitivetype.com/forums/topic/eye-vs-face-centric/#post-17575
But generally, the head and eyes can still move together in a J-lead type, but their entire body does not succumb. The head does also resist the pulling of the eyes, in magnitude, but sometimes the head does move a little (whether as Ne wandering eyes or Se eye-head parallel motions). However, the torso/body remains unaffected, and rigid. such as here:

^ J Body-Centric
It's captured best by this diagram which is in the tutorial series:

^ After clarifying this point last time I realized that "face-centric" is a bit of a misnomer, and I felt "body-centric" is more apt at capturing the signal.
I see Frida's signal above as firstly Ne Wandering eyes (actually, a better GIF for it than the one in the codifier atm), but admittedly it does begin to tread a little into the torso.

Thanks for the clarification! I've edited the original post to reflect this.
