"30 YEARS OF RESEARCH ON FACES" on September 25-26, 2012 in Dijon (France).

by ornella godard

Dear all, A conference entitled *"30 YEARS OF RESEARCH ON FACES" *will be organized on September the 25-26, 2012 in Dijon (France). The purpose of this conference is to provide up-to-date analyzes from the *last three decades of research on human face processing*. It will consist in four half-day sessions, respectively devoted to cognitive, developmental, neurophysiological, and neuropsychological approaches. Each session will start with a 1-hour key-note lecture describing the progress of knowledge up to current issues and concerns; then two 45-minute presentations will focus on more specific and hot areas of enquiry on human face processing. *Here the link to the website: https://sites.google.com/site/30yearsofresearchonfaces/ Registration and payment will be open very soon.* Hope to see you in Dijon !

Re: [Face-research-list] Face-research-list Digest, Vol 18, Issue 9

by Andy Young

Hi Gary, There is quite a substantial literature on this. Try a citation search on Justine Sergent's papers from the early 1980s, or on papers by Joseph Hellige later that decade and from the 1990s. If you Google 'joseph hellige spatial frequency' you can find the latter papers. Googling 'spatial frequency hypothesis psychology' also brings up a range of more recent contributions. Just for the record, Young and Bion (1981) had nothing to do with spatial frequencies. We did publish one relevant study (Newcombe, de Haan, Ross and Young, Neuropsychologia, 1989, 27, 523-538), but it didn't involve lateralised presentation.

query on HSF/LSF face processing and hemispheric asymmetries

by Gary Cottrell

Hi folks - I am looking for references hemispheric asymmetries in the spatial frequency processing of faces. I.e., what would be ideal would be experiments with brief presentations to a different hemi-fields of low or high-pass faces. I know about Sergent's 1985 paper and Young & Bion 1981. Things seem scarce after that. thanks! gary cottrell Gary Cottrell 858-534-6640 FAX: 858-534-7029 Computer Science and Engineering 0404 IF USING FED EX INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING LINE: CSE Building, Room 4130 University of California San Diego 9500 Gilman Drive # 0404 La Jolla, Ca. 92093-0404 "Probably once or twice a week we are sitting at dinner and Richard says, 'The cortex is hopeless,' and I say, 'That's why I work on the worm.'"

Question about micro-expression datasets

by Wen-Sheng Chu

Hi, I am Wen-Sheng Chu, an RA and grad student at Carnegie Mellon University. I am working on facial expression analysis problems and want to explore more about micro-expressions. I am wondering if anyone knows about micro-expression datasets in the literature. It would be more preferable if the dataset(s) is publicly available. To the best of my knowledge, there are USF and Canal-9 that might be of interest, according to the FG 2011 paper<http://www.cse.usf.edu/~mshreve/publications/FG11.pdf> . Thanks in advance for your help.

Request for two-tone face detection stimuli

by Nicola Gregory

Dear all, I wonder whether anyone has the two-tone (aka face vs face parts) face detection stimuli, as in Garrido, Duchaine and Nakayama (2008) that we could use here at Bournemouth University? Many thanks Nicola Gregory

FW: request for stimuli which differ by one feature only

by Peter Hancock

-----Original Message----- From: Jodie Davies-Thompson [mailto:jdthompson@eyecarecentre.org] Sent: 02 July 2012 17:11 To: face-research-list-bounces Subject: RE: request for stimuli which differ by one feature only Dear Aisling, I'll have to check with my colleagues first, but we have some stimuli which you could use. (On a side note for all, we will soon be making a face stimuli database available which consists of 12 Caucasian males, each photographed professionally under 6 different angle (0, 10, 20 ,30, 40 ,50 degrees) each under 6 different expressions (neutral, happy, sad, angry, surprise, fear, disgust).) However, just to give you a heads up (and to potentially save you some time and effort!), we have just done that experiment and have just submitted it for publication. The study is a same/different matching task where one of the following changes occurs: - whole face - top half of the face - bottom half of the face - eyes only - mouth only - nose only As you would expect, we find that for both reaction times and percent correct, subjects find the images harder to discriminate exactly in the order above (ie. faster and more efficient at detecting changes to the eyes than to the mouth). I would be happy to send you our paper once it has been accepted (hopefully!). Let me know if you would still find the stimuli set helpful.
