Asia-Pacific Conference on Vision
by William Hayward 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Dear face researchers -- Many of you will hopefully have received our notifications, but in case you have missed them: We are holding the 2011 Asia-Pacific Conference on Vision at the University of Hong Kong, 15-18 July 2011. The conference covers all aspects of vision from single-unit neurophysiology to visual cognition, and we expect a decent number of presentations on faces and objects. For more information, please see the following site: http://www.apcv.net/ The deadline for submissions is Thursday this week (10 March) -- but if you don't have time to prepare an abstract before then we could probably accommodate you as long as you let me know before the deadline that you're interested in making a submission. Hope to see you in Hong Kong! Best Will ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Hayward Professor and Head of Department Department of Psychology University of Hong Kong Pokfulam Road Hong Kong.

hello
by Parr, Lisa 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Good morning everyone I'm very excited to be part of this list. As an introduction, I am Lisa Parr, working on comparative social cognition in nonhuman primates, evaluating species differences as a means for assessing human specializations. My take on social cognition has focused on how monkeys and apes process identity and expression from faces. I have been at the Yerkes National Primate Reserach Center in Atlanta, GA since 1992, when I joined the lab of Dr. Frans de Waal as a research technician. I graduated from Emory with a PhD in Psychology in 2000. My thesis explored emotional behavior and expression in chimpanzees. For the last several years, our work has been dedicated towards understanding similarities and differences in the face processing of chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys. Our subjects perform computerized tasks where they are required to match faces based on a number of dimensions. We have studied inversion effects, composite effects, individual recognition, specific changes in facial viewpoint, contrast reversal, thatcher illusions, expression and identity categorization and most recently we have been working with Peter and his team to identify the physical features that differentiate the faces of monkeys and apes differ using PCA analysis and face composites. It might be interesting to some on this list that we have developed two nonhuman primate FACS systems, a ChimpFACS and a MaqFACS (rhesus macaques) in collaboration with researchers in both the US and UK. These can be found on my website. http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~lparr/index.html I'm looking forward to "meeting" and interacting with everyone. sincerely Lisa ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Introduction

04 Mar '11

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_

Hi Mike, I work here at Stirling and recently submitted a grant proposal with Peter Hancock to develop an affective image data set. We would be extremely keen to review the video materials you mention, even if the actual footage is a little dated it will certainly help us to develop more current materials, best wishes Alex ________________________________________ From: face-research-list-bounces(a)lists.stir.ac.uk [face-research-list-bounces(a)lists.stir.ac.uk] On Behalf Of face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk [face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk] Sent: 02 March 2011 15:21 To: face-research-list Mailing List Subject: Face-research-list Digest, Vol 2, Issue 6 Send Face-research-list mailing list submissions to face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.stir.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/face-research-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk You can reach the person managing the list at face-research-list-owner(a)lists.stir.ac.uk When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Face-research-list digest..."

I'm probably the most junior member here! Currently I'm working on my undergraduate disstertation looking at methods to reduce the other race effect. I'm supervised by Peter Hancock who has also employed me on summer bursaries here at Stirling University. I'm interested in several aspects of face recognition other than the other race effect especially failures in face processing and processing differences between familiar and unfamiliar faces. I'm hoping to do a face research related PhD as soon as I graduate this summer. Best, Catherine

Stimulus links

CNBC maintains are fairly extensive stimulus repository, including the tarrlab face stimuli (face-place.org) See: http://stims.cnbc.cmu.edu/ I am happy to add links to other databases if you send me the link and short description. Moreover, if you have a database of stimuli you would like to distribute, we are happy to host it - we have a very extensive and well maintained server system, so we do provide a stable and secure locale for keeping such things (e.g., URL won't change once set, etc.) Secondly, for anyone collecting face images with affect, please see the face-place images. We used a method suggested by Alice O'Toole - having subjects watch movies and video taping them in the process. Using the right movie clips, we are able to prompt very realistic expressions - much more compelling than the FACS faces (which look like cartoons). We have a CD of movies clips and a protocol that one is welcome to use, but it is probably dated in that the clips are now 5 or so years old and maybe not what is currently considered funny or scary or disgusting (and maybe never were in the UK) Best, Mike > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk > <mailto:face-research-list-request@lists.stir.ac.uk> > March 2, 2011 5:18 AM > > > Send Face-research-list mailing list submissions to > face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.stir.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/face-research-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk > > You can reach the person managing the list at > face-research-list-owner(a)lists.stir.ac.uk > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Face-research-list digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
