Re: [Face-research-list] Children's facial expressions
by Kirsten Dalrymple 12 Apr '13

We're working on a database of children's faces (The Dartmouth Database of Children's Faces). It's not FACS coded, but contains images of 40 male and 40 female models between the ages of 6 and 16. Models are photographed on a black background and are wearing black bibs and black hats to cover hair and ears. They are photographed from 5 different camera angles and pose 8 different facial expressions. Models were rated by independent raters and are ranked for the overall believability of their poses.

Children's facial expressions (Hight quality digital images, FACS coded)
by Chiara Fiorentini 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi, I am looking for a set of facial expressions of children for the 6 basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, anger and disgust). I am especially interested in images that are high-quality but also received validation for their ecological validity (e.g. would be useful if they are FACS coded and consistent with Ekman's specifications for facial movements occuring in these emotions). Any clues anybody? Many thanks, -- Chiara * "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." "Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value." * * -- Albert Einstein*

Dear all - could I ask you to bring the enclosed job ad to the attention of any potential candidates. best, Mike Burton --- University of Aberdeen Three Research Fellowships in Psychology Applications are invited for three Research Fellowships in Psychology. The ERC-funded project, led by Professor Mike Burton, aims to understand aspects of face recognition in both theoretical and applied settings. One of these posts will involve computational and experimental research, and candidates should have a strong background in programming. The second post will be focussed primarily on laboratory experiments, while the third will focus on applied research in real-world settings. Candidates for all positions will need a good track-record in experimental research. The posts will be offered for a period of up to 4 years, and salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6 scale. For full details, and application procedure, see www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs<http://www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs> Closing date for applications is 6 May.
