Face database with Oriental and Occidental faces

by Joscha Stecker

Dear all, we're searching for a face database with stimuli including ideally both - a) faces from the Middle East/ Oriental looking faces and - b) faces from Western society / Occidental looking faces. Some more charachteristics that might be helpfull for us: - more than 20 males & 20 females in each group a) and b) - standardized photo-sets with minimal variation of background and orientations - neutral expression and/or natural variation of emotion and/or different emotions for each face - licence agreement allowing the use for non-profit academic research - the actual origin (Occidental/ Oriental) of the people showed in the photos - any further data on face characteristics, external face ratings or characteristics of the targets shown would be great (albeit not a prerequisite) Within a project on the psychology of forced migration (University of Muenster, Germany; Prof. Mitja Back), we're planning to examine personality perceptions based on photos of Oriental and Occidental faces. Therefore we're glad for every idea concerning a face database including the above characteristics. Thanks in advance and best regards, Joscha Stecker

I am looking for face databases to create average faces

by Christophe Bousquet

Dear Members of the mailing list, I am about to start a project on face recognition in humans, and a part of this project requires to create different average faces (variation according to age and ethnic group). In order to increase the representativity of our average faces, I am looking for databases of faces with known characteristics (at least date of birth of the participant and date of picture taken, as well as age and ethnic group). Ideally, the pictures would have been taken in front of a uniform background. Many thanks in advance for your kind help, Christophe Bousquet Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.ch), encrypted email based in Switzerland.

Intracranial EEG Postdoctoral Position in Pittsburgh, USA

by Ghuman, Avniel

Postdoctoral Position, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Applications are invited for an NIH funded postdoctoral position combining eye tracking and intracranial EEG recordings in humans to study the neural basis of face recognition, object recognition, and social and affective perception, at the University of Pittsburgh, USA. The research will focus on understanding the dynamic neural code that underlies the recognition of faces, bodies, objects, facial expressions, and other social and affective stimuli and how this information guides, and is guided by, eye movements. Of particular interest is how this information is coded in interactive neural circuits at the level of large-scale brain networks. The neural data will primarily be local field potentials/ event related potential from intracranial surface electrodes (electrocorticography, ECoG), cortical depth electrodes, and subcortical depth electrodes in humans in conjunction with eye tracking. There is also the potential for studies involving direct cortical stimulation to assess how neural modulation alters visual perception. The ideal applicant would hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering or a related field. Strong technical, computational, and statistical skills are required. Experience with combining eye tracking and electrophysiological data is required (for example, scalp EEG and eye tracking). Applicants should have a strong track record of publication. Pittsburgh is consistently ranked the most livable city in America and the neuroscientific community here, particularly at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, is both very strong and collaborative. Interested applicants should send a letter of interest, a CV, and the names and contact information for 3 researchers who can provide a recommendation. For further information or to submit an application, please contact Avniel Ghuman, Ph.D. at ghumana(a)upmc.edu and see our website at www.lcnd.pitt.edu<http://www.lcnd.pitt.edu>

While undoubtedly worthwhile at the time, such lab controlled data poorly represents the environment and conditions faced in real-world situations. With the increase in the number of video clips online, it is worthwhile to explore the performance of emotion recognition methods that work ‘in the wild’. There are two sub-challenges: audio-video based emotion recognition in videos and group-level emotion recognition in the images (new). Timeline: Train and val data available: shared! Test data available: 30th June 2016 Last date for uploading the results: 15th July 2016 Paper submission deadline: 25th July 2016 Notification of acceptance: 25th August 2016 Camera-ready: September 2016 Organisers Abhinav Dhall, Roland Goecke, Jyoti Joshi and Tom Gedeon Contact emotiw2014(a)gmail.com

PhD position, University of Lorraine, France, facial expression decoding

by bruno rossion

PhD position (urgent): Understanding the dynamic of facial expression decoding mechanisms by means of an electrophysiologic approach by fast periodic visual stimulation Being able to quickly read emotional expression from the face is critical for human social interactions. Six facial expressions – fear, disgust, sadness, happiness, angry, surprise – also known as the ‘basic emotions’ have been suggested to be universally recognized (Ekman & Friesen, 1975). Studies on facial emotional processing have produced evidence for impairments in neurological and psychiatric populations, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, patients may often compensate on explicit behavioral tasks and fail on implicit face processing tasks, which suggests that they rely less on automatic emotion processing, but employ cognitive, language-based or perceptual compensatory mechanisms. This PhD proposal will focus on understanding the decoding of facial expression in typical human population by means of the rapid presentation of brief expression changes and the recording of implicit measures with electroencephalography (EEG). Specifically, we will rely on a fast periodic visual stimulation approach (FPVS) during EEG recording. Intracerebral recordings of patients suffering from epilepsy refractory to medication with the same paradigms will aim at understanding the neural basis of facial expression decoding. The PhD will be supervised by S. Caharel & J. Lighezzolo-Alnot at the Laboratory INTERPSY at the University of Lorraine in Nancy, France (http://interpsy.univ-lorraine.fr/content/stéphanie-caharel <http://interpsy.univ-lorraine.fr/content/st%8Ephanie-caharel>), and L. Maillard at the CHU of Nancy for intracerebral recording studies. Studies with the FPVS approach in EEG will be performed in close collaboration with B. Rossion and M. Dzhelyova at the University of Louvain in Belgium (http://face-categorization-lab.webnode.com/) <http://face-categorization-lab.webnode.com/)>. The position involves a temporary appointment for 3 years, with a starting date on September/October 2016. Applications should be completed ideally by june 20th. For more information, please contact: Stéphanie Caharel by email: stephanie.caharel(a)univ-lorraine.fr <mailto:stephanie.caharel@univ-lorraine.fr> Candidate requirements We will consider highly motivated candidates with a degree in neuroscience, neuropsychology, biomedical sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, physics etc. A high level of written and spoken English is required. The ideal candidate will have good programming skills for the setting up and adaptation of stimulation paradigms and data analysis, experience with neurophysiological techniques such as EEG, and a background in cognitive neuroscience. Knowledge of the topic of research – face perception - is an asset.

Dear face research community, My name is Vincent Wan and I am a research assistant in the Neuroscience of Vision and Action (NOVA) lab at the University of British Columbia (UBC). We are in the process of searching for a database of adult faces of a wide range of “ages” of Caucasian and East Asian ethnicity. It would be ideal to have the exact age of each individual included in his or her profile. If you are in possession of such a database, we would greatly appreciate your assistance and it would be a large asset to us in our upcoming research. You can contact me through my e-mail (vince.wan(a)hotmail.com) and I would be more than happy to answer any further questions you may have. Sincerely, Vincent Wan

Glyn Humphreys: Special Issue of Visual Cognition

by Jim Tanaka

Call for Papers The Visual Mind A Special Issue of Visual Cognition in Honour of Glyn Humphreys Submission deadline: November 1, 2016 Guest Editor: Christian Olivers Guest Associate Editors: Jim Tanaka, Charles Folk, Iain Gilchrist, Dana Samson, Martin Edwards, and Jane Riddoch. Glyn Humphreys has left a tremendous legacy in the field of visual perception and beyond. Through his enormous creativity, breadth and depth of research, there is virtually no area in vision science that he has not had an impact on, and he will be remembered as probably the most versatile scientist in the field so far. Visual search, spatial vision, perceptual organization, object recognition, semantic processing and categorization, face perception, visual neglect, visual agnosia, perception for action, visual working memory, inhibition and cognitive control, reading, and social vision – and the list is probably still not complete. As the founder and first chief editor of Visual Cognition, he was one of the first to recognize the importance of higher order cognitive processes in vision. He has provided many demonstrations of this himself, such as the crucial role of perceptual grouping by similarity in visual search, the effects of action affordances on object perception, and, most recently, the role of the image of the self on visual selection. Moreover, he combined his vast knowledge base with a wide range of methods, from investigating normal to neuropsychological behavior, and from neuroimaging to computational modeling. Glyn was multidisciplinary avant la lettre. For these reasons it does not make sense to make this special issue about a specific topic. Instead, it will pay tribute to a very special person. Someone who was able to create a warm, open and vibrant research atmosphere, and inspire many scientists young and old. He truly reached out, not only to other fields, but also to people from upcoming countries, in order to improve science in general. To honor the contributions of Glyn Humphreys, we invite submissions that are based on, inspired by, or otherwise related to his work. Topics are flexible but should cover higher order processes related to vision, and be demonstrably linked to Glyn’s work. Naturally, as good science befits, this may also include arguments and evidence against Glyn’s ideas. We foresee that topics may self-organize into various themes, which could include, among other topics: - Visual attention (e.g. visual search, visual hemineglect) - Object recognition (e.g. viewpoint invariance, categorization, visual agnosia) - Perception for action (e.g. affordances, apraxia) - Social vision (e.g. perspective taking, self-salience) Both empirical papers and integrative reviews will be considered. All submissions will undergo normal full peer review, maintaining the same high editorial standards as for regular submissions to Visual Cognition. Manuscripts should be submitted using the electronic submission portal (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pvis) on or before Nov 1, 2016. Please select the appropriate especial issue as manuscript type when submitting and you should state in a covering letter to the editor that the paper should be considered for the special issue honoring Glyn Humphreys. The deadline is firm; our intention is to publish the special issue within nine months after the submission deadline. Revisions invited by the guest editors will be expected within two months of receipt of the editorial decision letter and reviews.
