CFP Frontiers Research Topic: Affective Shared Perception
by Pablo Vinicius Alves De Barros 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

Call For Papers - Frontiers Research Topic: Affective Shared Perception I. Aim and Scope Our perception of the world depends on both sensory inputs and prior knowledge. This applies in general to sensing and has particular implications for affective understanding. Humans adapt their social and affective perception as a function of the current stimulation, of the context, of the history of the interaction, and as of the status of the partner. This influences their behavior, which in turn modifies the social and affective perception of both partners and the evolution of the interaction. Understanding shared perception as part of affective processing will allow us to tackle this problem and to provide the next step towards a real-world affective computing system. The goal of this research topic is to present and discuss new findings, theories, systems, and trends in affective shared perception and computational models. We are interested in collecting interesting and exciting research from researchers on the areas of social cognition, affective computing, and human-robot interaction, including also, but not restricted to specialists in computer and cognitive science, psychologists, neuroscientists, and specialists in bio-inspired solutions. We envision that it will allow us to tackle the existing problems in this area and it will provide the next step towards a real-world affective computing system. II. Potential Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: - Affective perception and learning - Affective modulation and decision making - Developmental perspectives of shared perception - Machine learning for shared perception - Bio-inspired approaches for affective shared perception - Affective processing for embodied and cognitive robots - Multisensory modeling for conflict resolution in shared perception - New psychological findings on shared perception - Assistive aspects and applications of shared affective perception III. Submission - Abstract - 24 October 2020 - Paper Submission - 21 February 2021 IV.

Lectureship positions at the University of Plymouth
by Chris Longmore 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Hello everyone, In the School of Psychology here at the University of Plymouth we currently have three lectureship positions advertised. Two of these posts are for any area of Psychology with one available as a permanent appointment and the other as a fixed-term 3 year position. We also have a lectureship advertised in behavioural or cognitive neuroscience. This latter post is for a fixed term of 4 years. In addition to behavioural research facilities including a dedicated child development lab (BabyLab) we also have a new Brain Imaging Research Centre (https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/research/psychology/brain-research-and-imaging-c…) which is due to open next year with MRI, EEG and TMS facilities available. The lecturer in behavioural or cognitive neuroscience in particular is anticipated to be heavily involved in developing research at this new facility although the facilities will be available to all. Links to the adverts are given below.

Postdoc Position in Face Processing and Social Cognition
by Angela Yu 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Applications are invited from highly motivated researchers for a postdoctoral position immediately available in the Computational & Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, led by Prof. Angela Yu, at University of California, San Diego. One current project of particular interest is using machine learning, computer vision, and statistical techniques to model human face processing and representation, as well as face-based social cognition. More broadly, Dr. Yu’s lab applies modern machine learning and statistical tools to extract computational principles that underlie cognitive processes that enable intelligent behavior, in particular how humans and other intelligent agents perform inference, learning, decision-making, and social interactions under conditions of uncertainty and non-stationarity. Current interests include face processing, attention, active sensing, judgement and decision making, and social cognition. Applicants should be committed to applying rigorous computational and mathematical tools to understand natural intelligence. Experience or interest in carrying out human behavioral experiments (either in person or on-line) and/or collaborating with neuroimaging/neurophysiology laboratories is desirable. Initial appointment is for one year, renewable for up to 2-3 years. Dr. Yu's lab is situated within the Cognitive Science department, and also affiliated with the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute, the Computer Science Department, the Neurosciences Graduate Program, and the Institute of Neural Computation. There are ample opportunities for collaborations with related groups across the UCSD main campus, the medical school, and the Salk Institute. Interested candidates should send a research statement (in particular explaining why you think you would be a good fit for this position in my lab), along with a CV including publications, to Dr. Angela Yu (ajyu(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ajyu@ucsd.edu>) with the subject “Postdoc Application” (I may miss your application otherwise). Two or more letters of references should be sent directly by the recommenders to ajyu(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ajyu@ucsd.edu>. More information about Dr. Yu’s group can be found at https://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu <https://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu>. ---------------------------------------------- Angela Yu Associate Professor Dept. of Cognitive Science Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute UC San Diego 858-822-3317 http://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu ----------------------------------------------
