Call for Demos to be presented at Face and Gesture 2015
by Vitomir Štruc 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

**Apologies for cross-posting** Dear Colleagues, Face and Gesture 2015 will host demo sessions to give researchers the opportunity to showcase live demonstrations of their contributions. The demonstrations are intended to display, in an interactive setting, new algorithms, methods, technologies and system prototypes. The demonstrations are not limited to papers being presented at the conference, although demonstration of work published at FG2015 or its workshops is encouraged. The primary requirement is that the topic of the demo falls within the broad context of face and gesture recognition. Prospective demo participants should fill out a demo application form (aviailabe from the FG 2015 web-page) and submit it along with an one page description and the video, showing the actual demo. The application form should list the requirements of a demonstration (space, power, internet connection, etc.) All submitted demos will be reviewed, and decisions will be based on the degree of quality and appropriateness for FG2015. The demos will be included in the conference proceedings as one page abstracts, and will compete for the best demo award, sponsored by FG2015. At least one presenter for each demo must be registered for the conference. Demonstrations from academia, government, and industry are welcome. However, the displays of commercial products can not be accepted as demos, but only as part of the exhibition program.

PhD opportunity in Person Perception, The University of Western Australia
by Libby Taylor 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

We are looking for talented and enthusiastic international students to join our research team in the Person Perception Program at the Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders (http://www.ccd.edu.au<http://www.ccd.edu.au/>). The Research: - We aim to understand the mechanisms (perceptual, cognitive, neural and evolutionary) of person perception and how they relate to other cognitive abilities and social functioning. - As well as investigating person perception in typical adults, we also study how these skills emerge during typical development and whether these skills are impaired in children and adults with disorders of person perception (e.g., autism, developmental prosopagnosia). - Methods include behavioural, eye-tracking, SCR, EEG and potentially tDCS. The People: - Prof. Gillian Rhodes<http://www.ccd.edu.au/people/profile.php?memberID=623> - A/Prof. Romina Palermo<http://www.ccd.edu.au/people/profile.php?memberID=64> - Dr Linda Jeffery<http://www.ccd.edu.au/people/profile.php?memberID=644> The Place: - Join us in the Facelab<http://www.psychology.uwa.edu.au/research/facelab> and the PEPLab<http://www.psychology.uwa.edu.au/research/PEPLab>, located at the School of Psychology<http://www.psychology.uwa.edu.au/> at The University of Western Australia<http://www.uwa.edu.au/>, Perth, AUSTRALIA Scholarships: - Scholarships covering living allowance and tuition fees are available for international students - Applications open 6 January 2015, close 6 March 2015, commencement 1 July 2015<http://www.scholarships.uwa.edu.au/future-students/postgrad/international> More Information: Please visit our webpage, http://www.psychology.uwa.edu.au/research/facelab/phd-opportunities, to see our flyer for more details, and contact libby.taylor(a)uwa.edu.au<mailto:libby.taylor@uwa.edu.au> if you are interested in applying.
