Hi!
I was wondering whether anyone knew an image data base that contains human
and/or monkey body images take from different view points?
Thanks!
Caspar
Hi Anita,
we used Psychomorph to do this by generating average neutral faces and average expression faces.
For example, 100 neutral faces generated the neutral template, 100 smiling faces generated the smiling template. We were then able to modify the shape of individual faces by set incremental amounts by warping the shape information of the individual faces between our neutral and smiling parameters. Be careful, however, because you will come up against the problem of generating posed expressions which will not be true natural expressions - and here lies the real challenge. Good luck and feel free to contact make direct at a.h.mcintyre(a)stir.ac.uk
Best wishes
Alex

Hi Anita -
we did just that with the Ekman faces probably over 10 years ago. Ralph
Adolphs did the morphing; he may still have the images. I am cc'ing him
here.

Hi Anita,
I used FantaMorph for doing the same thing, and it worked really well. If you have no luck with psychomorph, you could try that. SqirlzMorph is a free version, but it doesn't give you quite so much control.
Best of luck,
Jodie
I'm developing an online version of Psychomorph. It's still in an early, slightly buggy, stage, but is much more intuitive than the desktop version.
Email me if you want an access code, as access is by invite only for now.

Dear all of you,
My name is Anita Montagna, PhD student at the Centre for the Developing Brain.
I am looking for a software to morph pictures of faces in order to build a task of face expressions recognition.
I had a look at Psychomorph but it seems that no instructions exist online.
Could you help me?
I need to create different levels of intensities of emotions and I have neutral and 100% intensities emotional faces
Many thanks for your help,
Best regards,
Anita Montagna

To whom it may concern,
I am an undergraduate student of Swansea University conducting research into the other-race phenomenon and I am in need of Asian faces (any gender or age, preferably front facing neutral expression).
Would you be able to provide any such faces? or direct me as to where I could obtain such data from?
Many Thanks,

sorry, I have to ask, since you say the FaceReader is the "world's first tool capable of automatically analyzing facial expressions - when was FaceReader developed? CERT (Computer Expression Recognition Toolbox) has been around for years, and is being commercially developed now by Emotient. This is Marni Bartlett, Javier Movellan, and Gwen Littlewort's project.

Announcing the Stirling/ESRC 3D face database.
This new database aims to provide the richest possible set of imagery of the individuals depicted: 3D face scans, stereo images and video, many different photographs with varying viewpoints, lighting and distances and both high and low quality video clips. There are posed expressions, in 2D and 3D; we also have attempted to induce natural expressions, though we are still editing those videos. We also have tools, developed by Bernie Tiddeman at Aberystwyth, for manipulating images in both 2D and 3D. The aim is to help people make the transition to 3D imagery and generally facilitate research, but among other things hopefully put an end to the lamentable practice of studying 'face' recognition, when using the same image at study and test.
A strong requirement of using the database is that if you add value to any of the images, e.g. by cropping them, getting ratings or marking them up for morphing, you offer them back to the database. In that way the database should grow as a resource for the community, as we also continue to add images, including some of the same people months later.
I'm still adding things, so there is much more to come, but there's enough to be worth announcing.
It's hosted at the PICS database, http://pics.stir.ac.uk; the direct link is http://pics.stir.ac.uk/ESRC/
Hope it's useful.

94% of our 2012 graduates were in work and/or further study within six months of graduation.

The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.
So, when you say "recognize" Jim, what do you mean? In a face memory test? I.e., can I give the subject 1000 faces and then have him or her recognize them?
Or do you mean, how many faces would I find familiar in real life? (and be correct about it?)
I think these are very different questions, and the latter one would be really hard to quantify.

Hi -
I've been looking everywhere and can't seem to find the answer to this simple question.
Do you know of any research that addresses the question of "HOW MANY FACES THE TYPICAL PERSON CAN RECOGNIZE?" Not identify by name, but recognize. Bahrick's work examines the durability of face memories over time, but I'm more interested in an estimate of the sheer number. A cold beverage of your choice to the person that can help. Thanks.

The Psychology Division at the University of Stirling aims to offer up to two funded PhD studentships commencing 2014. These will be allocated in an open competition and postgraduates will be based in one of the three research groups in Psychology: Cognition in Complex Environments, Health and Behaviour Change, or Behaviour and Evolution. Further information can be found on the following link:

I'd be pleased to hear from anyone interested in doing a PhD in face perception, with my particular interest being in how our recognition works, perhaps doing some computational modelling
Other colleagues here working on face perception:
Tony Little - social perception
Sarah Vick - expression perception
Stephen Langton - gaze perception

Hi Jim,
I would be interested too.
Is it possible to have access to your database?

Hi Natalie,
We've collected and normed a fairly large of
child facial expressions that we currently compiling into
the "JimStim" database. The expressions are
shot in the frontal view.
I've invited you to a Dropbox where you can
download the images. Hope they are helpful to your
students.

[Face-research-list] Child facial expression
database
Dear All,
I am currently running
student research projects on facial expression recognition.
The students choose the direction they take that topic in
and one group is interested in recognition of children’s
facial expressions. I am struggling to
find a good database displaying the 6 basic emotions and a
neutral image. Does anyone have a set of stimuli they can
share with me?
I have looked into the
DANVA set but the website doesn’t seem to be working
properly and I have downloaded the Radbound database but the
images labelled as ‘frontal’ aren’t frontal they are
all profile views.
Many thanks for your
advice,
Best wishes
Natalie

info morphed faces of children

Dear face research list,
My name is Anita Montagna and I am a PhD student working at the Centre for the Developing Brain (King's College London) about late consequences of preterm birth.
I will study a sample of 4 and 8 years old children assessing executive function and emotional processing.
I would like to ask them to complete a task of emotion recognition of face expressions.
My group is using the Emotion Recognition task developed by Montagne ( Montagne, B., Kessels, R. P., De Haan, E. H., & Perrett, D. I. (2007). THE EMOTION RECOGNITION TASK: A PARADIGM TO MEASURE THE PERCEPTION OF FACIAL EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIONS AT DIFFERENT INTENSITIES 1. Perceptual and motor skills, 104(2), 589-598.).
I am looking for something similar but suitable for preschoolers, with children faces and possibly with different intensities of the emotions.
The task used in this paper - Georgia Chronakia*, Matthew Garnerc, Julie A. Hadwina, Margaret J. J. Thompsona, Cheryl Y. Chind & Edmund J. S. Sonuga-Barkeab*
Emotion-recognition abilities and behavior problem dimensions in preschoolers: Evidence for a specific role for childhood hyperactivity.
Child Neuropsychology - is similar to the DANVA task but uses adult female faces.
Do you know about any test using children morphed faces? Or about a database of stimuli using children morphed faces?
I am looking for happy, fear, angry (and sad) faces.
I thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Anita
Dear All,
There is currently a PhD scholarship (AUD$30,000 per annum for 3.5 years)
available for a student to work with me, Dr Ans Vercammen and Professor
Peter Rendell on a project examining the development and decline of social
cognition and emotion processing. The successful applicant would be based
in Sydney at the Australian Catholic University's Sydney (Strathfield)
campus. See project description below.
Could I please ask for your assistance in forwarding this email to anyone
who may be a suitable applicant, or who may know someone else who would be?
Potential applicants should contact me in the first instance at
Megan.Willis(a)acu.edu.au
Many thanks,
Megan
*Project Title: *The Development and Decline of Social Cognition and
Emotion Processing
*Project Description:* This project will examine how the capacity to
recognise emotion in others, and the ability to use this information to
guide social behaviour develops in childhood and declines in older
adulthood. More specifically, this project will focus on investigating the
cognitive, neural and physiological mechanisms that underpin social
cognitive abilities and emotion processing. With a particular view to
understanding the way in which these capacities develop throughout
childhood and decline in older adulthood. The project will employ a range
of methodologies, including skin conductance responses (SCR), facial
electromyography (EMG) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

Hi,
I need a set of young male (aged roughly 18-30) full-frontal Chinese faces, with a neutral expression, for an experiment on lineups. William Hayward has already kindly allowed me to use his database of Chinese faces, but I need more examples. Any faces that fit these specifications would be gratefully received!
Thanks,
Graham Hole,
