Dear all, over the years I have tried various face adaptation experiments, with mostly incoherent results, and watched puzzled as everyone else publishes neat little findings. I began to suspect strong temporal effects and we have finally managed to publish some results demonstrating this with adaptation to antifaces: almost all the effect derives from the first few trials; it is as if whatever is adapting gets 'tired' after that. It may be that others have picked up on this already but I figured it might be useful to draw attention to the finding in case there are those who, like me, are baffled by otherwise strange results.

Dear all, does anyone of you know a stimulus database where i could get a larger number (in the range of dozens) morphed MONKEY (Macaca mullata is the best) face-pairs?
thanks a lot

Hi everyone,
I am conducting a study on gaze direction and I need full front and 3/4 profile pictures of cars (control stimuli).
Does anybody know where I can find such stimuli ?
Thanks for your help

study:

A. Bednar. Similar neural adaptation mechanisms underlying face
gender and tilt aftereffects. Vision Research, 51(18):2021-2030, 2011.

we have made them freely available at:

The stimulus set includes 1,612 PNG-format color images generated
along an image morph continuum between the average male face and the
average female face from a large database of feature-tagged face
images; see the paper for the full details.

I'm forwarding this to face research list in the hope that there may be one or two modellers out there who would be interested.

Subject: NCPW13 announcement
Dear colleague,
We cordially invite you to participate in the Thirtienth Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop (NCPW13) to be held in San Sebastian (Spain) from July 12-14, 2012: http://www.bcbl.eu/events/ncpw13
This well-established and lively workshop aims at bringing together researchers from different disciplines such as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, neurobiology, philosophy and psychology to discuss their work on models of cognitive processes. Previous themes have encompassed categorisation, language, memory, development, action. There will be no specific theme, but papers must be about emergent models -- frequently, but not necessarily -- of the connectionist/neural network kind, applied to cognition. These workshops have always been characterised by their limited size, high quality papers, the absence of parallel talk sessions, and a schedule that is explicitly designed to encourage interaction among the researchers present in an informal setting.
Furthermore, this workshop will feature a unique set of invited speakers:
* Mark Seidenberg. University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.
* Jeffrey Elman. University of California, San Diego. USA.
* Randall C. O'Reilly. University of Colorado. USA.
* Kim Plunkett. University of Oxford, UK.
Important dates to remember:
Abstract deadline: March 31st, 2012
Notification of abstract acceptance: May 1st, 2012
Early registration deadline: June 1st, 2012
Online registration deadline: July 1st, 2012
Conference dates: July 12 - 14, 2012
Looking forward to your participation,
Julien Mayor

Hi everyone:
My name is Esther and I'm a postdoc fellow at University of British Columbia.
Weare conducting a face perception study and we need asian faces.
Does anybody know where I can find asian faces of old and young men and women, frontal views, neutral expression?
Thanks for your help
Esther
