Dear All
I am looking for colour images East Asian Faces, so ideally Chinese or Japanese (although they need to be all the same ethnicity). I need two different images of each face, with all the hair visible. Does anyone know of a face image set of this type.
Thanks in advance.

Dear All
Save the Date !!!!! 20th March 2013....
The following seminar will feature talks relevant to face perception researchers .......
One day workshop: Visual attention, gaze behaviour and eye tracking to explore cognition and behaviour in neuro-developmental disorders
On Wednesday 20th March 2013 there will be a one day workshop which will discuss issues related to trhe study of visual attention, gaze behaviour and the use of eye tracking methods to explore typicality / atypicality of cognition and behaviour in neuro-developmental disorders. The seminar will be held in the School of Psychology, Newcastle University.
This workshop is part of a seminar series entitled 'Neuro-developmental disorders: Exploring sensitive methods of assessment across development' which explores recent findings in neurodevelopmental disorders, with a particular focus on 1) the new research tools and methods used, 2) discussion of the wider applicability of these new tools and methods across different neurodevelopmental disorders, 3) identifying future challenges or controversies when studying neurodevelopmental disorders using a developmental approach.
The seminar series hopes to bring together specialists and established researchers as well as post-graduates, post-doctoral researchers and early career researchers in neurodevelopmental disorders. The first workshop of the series, held in June 2012 at Kingston University, was very successful in meeting our aims. We enjoyed an exciting day of talks, which generated some very interesting discussion. The second workshop promises to be equally engaging and i being held at the Institute of Education on 11th January 2013. The seminar I am email about is the third and final in the series.
The series is sponsored by the British Psychological Society and the Williams syndrome Foundation UK and is being organised by Dr Jo van Herwegen, Dr Emily Farran and Dr Debbie Riby.
Confirmed speakers, and titles of presentations:
Dr Mary Hanley (Queens University Belfast) Gaze behaviour to faces in Autism and Williams syndrome
Dr John Swettenham (UCL) Attention and Gaze in Autism Spectrum Disorders: Biological Motion and Perceptual Capacity
Dr Sue Fletcher-Watson (Edinburgh University) Eye tracking in infancy: looking for early signs of autism and atypical development
Professor Letitia Naigles (UNiversity of Conneticut) Preferential looking reveals both strengths and weaknesses in the language development of children with autism
Dr Marco Hessels (University of Geneva) Eye movement registration evidences construct validity in dynamic assessments: People with intellectual disabilities can reason by analogy, but you have to tell them to do so.
Miss Hayley Mace (CEREBRA, Birmingham University) Eye tracking to explore spontaneous emotion discrimination and face processing in ASD, Fragile X syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome and Rubinstein Taybi syndrome

Dear all,
I am looking for morphed adult faces: morphing from a *neutral* expression
to a* fearful* one, and from a neutral expression to an *angry* expression.
I would be very grateful if anyone has such faces to share.
Thanks a lot,
Best,

Hello everyone,
Hope you are all well. I am emailing to ask if anyone has or is aware of a face database which contains famous faces showing a variety of emotions that I would be allowed to use. I am aware of such a famous face database (for example, Lander & Bruce 2004; Lander & Chuang 2004; Lander & Metcalfe 2007) but I am unsure if this database is accessible to others and if the authors allow this. It doesn't matter if the images are coloured or black/white. It is just for undergraduate dissertations however I will ensure the proper referencing of any databases are of course included. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I look forward to any replies.
Kind Regards,
Karri Gillespie-Smith.

As so many of you are doing web experiments or interested in web
experiments, I thought I'd share our recent paper comparing data from web
and lab samples for different measures including face and emotion
recognition:
Germine, L., Nakayama, K., Duchaine, B.C., Chabris, C.F., Chatterjee, G., &
Wilmer, J.B. (in press). Is the web as good as the lab? Comparable findings
from Web and lab in cognitive/perceptual experiments. *Psychonomic Bulletin
& Review.* <http://www.lauragermine.org/articles/germine_pbr2012.pdf>
Essentially we find comparable means, standard deviations, and internal
reliability for web and lab-based samples on these tests. We hope it'll be
a resource for other researchers who are thinking about using web-based
methods and those who want to address reviewer skepticism about web methods
for face recognition research.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Best,
Laura

Dear All,
I'm looking for a literature on social perception on ambiguous facial
expression. I have a feeling that there's not many on this – except
perception of displayed emotion and the influence of the context and
individual differences (e.g. anxiety). However, what I’m looking for
is how people interpreted the meaning of ambiguous emotional
expression during social interaction (e.g. what are displayer’s
intention or action request?).
Secondly, do you know any literature showing that negative/angry
display might be less readable than positive displays in terms of
displayer’s intention and action request? There’s a lot of literature
that show influence of culture/social norms on facial expression
during social interaction, e.g. western cultures are less likely to
show anger to strangers (cause it might be acknowledge as impolite).
So, during social interaction we should rather expect stranger to
smile than to frown. Consequently, if someone is smiling it is natural
that he/she’s trying to be nice, on the other hand if he/she’s
showing anger, there might be a lot of reasons for such a behavior
and his/her intention remain unclear… I don’t know whether you’d
support my way of thinking, but if you do, and additionally have some
research on this, please let me know! :-)
I’d appreciate your help!
Michal

Hi Gary,
There is quite a substantial literature on this.
Try a citation search on Justine Sergent's papers from the early 1980s, or
on papers by Joseph Hellige later that decade and from the 1990s. If you
Google 'joseph hellige spatial frequency' you can find the latter papers.
Googling 'spatial frequency hypothesis psychology' also brings up a range
of more recent contributions.
Just for the record, Young and Bion (1981) had nothing to do with spatial
frequencies. We did publish one relevant study (Newcombe, de Haan, Ross
and Young, Neuropsychologia, 1989, 27, 523-538), but it didn't involve
lateralised presentation.
Cheers,
Andy Young.

Hi folks -
I am looking for references hemispheric asymmetries in the spatial frequency processing of faces. I.e., what would be ideal would be experiments with brief presentations to a different hemi-fields of low or high-pass faces. I know about Sergent's 1985 paper and Young & Bion 1981. Things seem scarce after that.
thanks!

Hi,
I am Wen-Sheng Chu, an RA and grad student at Carnegie Mellon University.
I am working on facial expression analysis problems and want to explore
more about micro-expressions. I am wondering if anyone knows about
micro-expression datasets in the literature. It would be more preferable
if the dataset(s) is publicly available.
To the best of my knowledge, there are USF and Canal-9 that might be of
interest, according to the FG 2011
paper<http://www.cse.usf.edu/~mshreve/publications/FG11.pdf>
.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Subject: RE: request for stimuli which differ by one feature only
Dear Aisling,
I'll have to check with my colleagues first, but we have some stimuli which you could use. (On a side note for all, we will soon be making a face stimuli database available which consists of 12 Caucasian males, each photographed professionally under 6 different angle (0, 10, 20 ,30, 40 ,50 degrees) each under 6 different expressions (neutral, happy, sad, angry, surprise, fear, disgust).)
However, just to give you a heads up (and to potentially save you some time and effort!), we have just done that experiment and have just submitted it for publication.
The study is a same/different matching task where one of the following changes occurs:
- whole face
- top half of the face
- bottom half of the face
- eyes only
- mouth only
- nose only
As you would expect, we find that for both reaction times and percent correct, subjects find the images harder to discriminate exactly in the order above (ie. faster and more efficient at detecting changes to the eyes than to the mouth).
I would be happy to send you our paper once it has been accepted (hopefully!). Let me know if you would still find the stimuli set helpful.
All the best,
Jodie

Dear all
I am looking to set up a same/different face recognition task asking my participants to decide if pairs of faces are identical or if they differ by one feature (ie, all elements of the two faces are identical except the mouth). Does anybody have a set of face stimuli which has pairs of faces differing by only one feature (ie different eyes with all other features identical or different noses with all other features identical)?
Thank you very much for your help

"WHAT'S IN A FACE?"
ECCV 2012 WORKSHOP
12 OCTOBER 2012
https://sites.google.com/site/wiaf2012/
================================================================
The “What’s in a Face?” workshop aims to provide a forum for
interdisciplinary exchange on the topic of human face. The
interdisciplinary aspect will promote a lively exchange of ideas between
researchers in computer vision, biometrics, cognitive psychology and
forensics. This exchange will be facilitated by invited talks from
leading researchers in these disciplines. Additionally, a panel session
will be conducted to bring to the fore new perspectives and promote
active collaboration between these disciplines.
Computer vision sees the human face as a natural object and aims to
perform the tasks of detection, tracking, coding and matching from
images and videos. The task of facial recognition, for the purpose of
establishing human identity, is the central focus in biometrics, where
face images have also been used to deduce soft biometric attributes such
as an individual’s age, gender and ethnicity. In forensics, local facial
features such as moles, scars, tattoos and wrinkles have been used to
validate identity in one-to-one matching cases involving photos. In
speech forensics, face videos have been used in conjunction with audio
streams to enhance the reliability of speech recognition through the use
of audio-visual cues. Real-time face tracking, coupled with the use of
soft biometric features, has allowed for new applications, such as
continuous user monitoring and authentication in work environments. In
cognitive vision and social psychology, videos and images of faces have
been analyzed to infer an individual’s emotional state or to detect
interpersonal deception. The neuropsychological processes pertaining to
how humans recognize faces has also been actively studied over several
decades. From a medical perspective, face images may also offer
information about an individual’s health. More recently, facial images
have been used to study familial relationships.
The above observations lead to the tantalizing question: “What’s in a
Face?”
We invite high quality contributions on the following topics:
- Novel 2D and 4D face recognition algorithms
- Neuropsychology of face recognition in humans
- Face understanding in social/cognitive psychology
- Face behaviometrics
- Age, gender and race prediction from faces
- Emotion and deception detection from faces
- Familial relationships from face images
- Facial forensics based on scars, moles, tattoos
- Facial micro-expressions
- Detection of social intent from faces
- Recognition of attentional focus
