face space

by Gyula Kovacs

Dear Colleagues, I am wondering if there is anywhere on the internet a freely accessible tool with which one could create a "face-space" a-la Leopold et al, (2001), e.g. as a Matlab toolbox or any other way. What i would need is something into which i can put a given number of faces and it creates the space with its anti-face versions etc. Thanks in advance for any information. -- Gyula Kovacs Dept.Cognitive Sciences Budapest Univ.

Oxford Handbook of Face Perception

by Andy Young

Hi all, I just received my copy of the recently published 'Oxford Handbook of Face Perception', edited by Andy Calder, Gill Rhodes, Mark Johnson and Jim Haxby (OUP, 2011). See http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199559053.do Here's what the publishers say about it: 'The Oxford Handbook of Face Perception is the most comprehensive and commanding review of the field ever published. It looks at the functional and neural mechanisms underlying the perception, representation, and interpretation of facial characteristics, such as identity, expression, eye gaze, attractiveness, personality, and race. It examines the development of these processes, their neural correlates in both human and non-human primates, congenital and acquired disorders resulting from their breakdown, and the theoretical and computational frameworks for their underlying mechanisms. With chapters by an international team of leading authorities from the brain sciences, the book is a landmark publication on face perception.' Unusually, most of the hyperbole is valid. This is a book that many of us will be wanting to dip into for the background to aspects of face perception we don't know so well, or just to get someone else's take on our own pet topic. It's not cheap, of course, but you can try to get your library to buy it. Definitely worth checking out, anyway. Cheers, Andy Young.

Looking for Asian neutral faces stimuli set

by Christy Reece

Hello, I'm a psychology research Masters student and I'm looking at in-group/out-group ratings of faces, which I intend to manipulate through priming. The group is determined by ethnicity and I will be asking ethnically Chinese individuals to participate. I have a set of neutral Chinese faces and I am now looking for a second set of neutral Asian faces that I can use for comparison. The second set of faces must be clearly distinct from the Chinese faces, so my current preference would be for a set of Indian stimuli, however I am open to using any Asian stimuli set other than faces that are ethnically Japanese since the face structure is too similar to Chinese. I would really appreciate some help getting this second set of stimuli. If anyone one has a stimuli set or knows of one referenced in an article can you please let me know? Full credit will of course be given to the creator of the stimuli set. Thanks and Regards, Christy -- Christy Reece Research Assistant National University of Singapore Department of Psychology AS5-04-21 ph: 8246 0526

Prosopagnosia papers

by creusot

Hi, Im a PhD student in computer science working on 3D face landmarking and recognition. I am looking for scientific articles on prosopagnosia and on the difference between face recognition and object recognition in the brain. This is probably the right mailing-list to ask. What I am looking for is review articles about research on prosopagnosia so that I can redirect my readers (if they are interested) to the whole corpus of literature by citing one or two articles. As it is not my field it is difficult for me to distinguish between the good and less good papers on that subject. I'm sure your expertise can help. Please contact me if you have some articles to suggest. Best regards, Clement Creusot.

PICS database update

by Peter Hancock

Dear all, I've been doing a bit of work on the PICS database, http://pics.stir.ac.uk. I've added some more face sets and hope to have some 3d images available by the end of the summer. I'll also add to the 'other databases' list, especially if you tell me about yours! Now, I'm sure many of you have collections of faces that would be of great benefit to the community but are hidden away. So, if you have images that you could make available but haven't got round to, now is the time to zip them up and I'll put them on the server here, with due acknowledgement. I haven't yet sorted downloading with permission only, but hope to do so. Therefore, if you have images that you are prepared to make available only to vetted researchers, let me know and we'll see what can be done.

WANTED: Pictures of facial expressions in younger children

by Andreas Johnen

Hi all, first of all a short introduction since this is my first post in this list. My name is Andreas Johnen and I work as a research assistant (PhD Student) at the Institute for Forensic Psychiatry at the LVR Clinics in Essen / Germany. We are currently planning an fMRI study on the neural basis of implicit emotional processing in forensic patients. Ultimately we want to study emotional empathy in delinquents and especially in convicted child molesters but a paradigm with facial expressions seems like a good start to research group differences in neural emotion processing. Thus, especially emotional processing of children's facial expressions is of interest to us. For this aim we are looking for a database (or anything really) that provides facial expressions (preferably the 5 basic emotions, but at least neutral, happy, sad) of children, preferably prepubescent children (age 9-14). The Radboud Face Database provides 9 children models, however these models appear to be either post-pubescent or in puberty. Since I already searched Databases around the web and also in publications unsuccesfully, anything can be helpful. If anyone knows somebody who has studied children's faces and facial expressions in children, differences between processing of children and adult faces, or if you can give me any hint on where to look for or who to contact it is much appreciated. Besides that, if anyone is interested in our research, please feel free to contact me for more information, possible cooperations or just simply out of interest. Thanks in advance for your input and best regards, -Andy -- Dipl. Psych.

Dear List Members: I am wondering how to validate general facial expressions. I see a single method: Estimate the amplitude of action units *AND* get a FACS expert who validates the data (and does not mind emotions at all) Do you have any other idea? - Are you aware of any kind of database where people respond naturally to images or sounds and they also talk about their mixed feelings? - Is there any kind of image database on facial expressions with regard to a standard emotional database, like IAPS? - Is there any general measure, such as co-measured signals (like video, fMRI, PET, EEG and gaze estimation) together with the data that was used to evoke emotions in the study and can be used for validation? I am very much looking forward to your responses. Best wishes, Andras _________________________ Andras Lorincz ECCAI Fellow http://nipg.inf.elte.hu http://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.andras.lorincz Department of Software Technology and Methodology Eotvos Lorand University Budapest, Hungary

(Ei/IEEE Xplore) CISP'11-BMEI'11 Extended Deadline 3 June, Shanghai, China

by Bing Li

Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the upcoming 4th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing (CISP 2011) and the 4th International Conference on BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI 2011), to be jointly held from 15-17 October 2011, in Shanghai, China. Due to numerous requests, the submission deadline is extended to 3 June 2011. Shanghai is the largest city in China, with famous historical and cultural heritage. Attractions include Yuyuan Garden ("Happy Garden" built in Ming Dynasty), Shanghai Museum with 120,000 pieces of rare relics, Shanghai World Financial Center, Jade Buddha Temple (Song Dynasty), Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Zhujiajiao Water Town, and Expo 2010 site. All papers in conference proceedings will be indexed by both EI Compendex and ISTP, as well as included in the IEEE Xplore (IEEE Conference Record Number for CISP'11: 18205; IEEE Conference Record Number for BMEI'11: 18206. CISP-BMEI 2008-2010 papers have already been indexed in EI Compendex). Substantially extended versions of best papers will be considered for publication in a CISP'11-BMEI'11 special issue of the Computers and Electrical Engineering journal (SCI-indexed). CISP-BMEI is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of multimedia, signal processing, biomedical engineering and informatics. The previous CISP-BMEI each attracted over 3000 submissions from all over the world, with acceptance rate around 50%. The registration fee of US$400 includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all technical sessions. CISP'11-BMEI'11 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. To promote international participation of researchers from outside the country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China’s mainland), researchers outside of China’s mainland are encouraged to propose invited sessions. The first author of each paper in an invited session must not be affiliated with an organization in China’s mainland. All papers in the invited sessions can be marked as "Invited Paper". The organizer(s) for each invited session with at least 6 registered papers will (jointly) enjoy an honorarium of US*D 400. Invited session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. Invited session organizers will be able to set their own submission and review schedules, as long as a set of recommended papers is determined by 31 May 2011. Each invited session proposal should include: (1) the name, bio, and contact information of each organizer of the invited session; (2) the title and a short synopsis of the invited session. Please send your proposal to CISP-BMEI(a)dhu.edu.cn For more information, visit the conference web page: http://cisp-bmei.dhu.edu.cn If you have any questions after visiting the conference web page, please email the secretariat at CISP-BMEI(a)dhu.edu.cn Join us at this major event in exciting Shanghai !!! Organizing Committee CISP-BMEI(a)dhu.edu.cn P.S.: Kindly forward to your colleagues and students in your school/department. If you wish to unsubscribe, in which case we apologize, please reply with "unsubscribe face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk " in your email subject. Thanks.

introduction

by Gary Cottrell

Hi - I thought I would introduce myself to the list. I'm Gary Cottrell, and I've been building computational models (or my students have!) of visual processing for slightly over 20 years. My lab is interested in how the brain processes visual information from a number of perspectives - how do we recognize facial expressions, how do we recognize faces & objects, how do we decide where to look, how to we integrate information over fixations, what is the source of hemispheric asymmetries, what is the cause of search asymmetries? We've also investigated how hierarchical visual representations can be formed through unsupervised learning. I have a bad habit of publishing things in the cog sci conference and then not sending that to a journal, so some of my work is obscure, but it is all on my web page. I'm also a member of the Perceptual Expertise Network, where I've mostly been interested in computational explanations of what I call the Visual Expertise Mystery, which is why would an area (the FFA) that presumably starts out as a face area become recruited for other areas of expertise? While a fair number of the readers of this list probably believe that that question starts from a false presupposition, we have a good computational answer, if you allow it the question! ;-) I hope to see many of you at VSS! cheers, gary Gary Cottrell 858-534-6640 FAX: 858-534-7029 Computer Science and Engineering 0404 IF USING FED EX INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING LINE: CSE Building, Room 4130 University of California San Diego - 9500 Gilman Drive # 0404 La Jolla, Ca. 92093-0404 "A grapefruit is a lemon that saw an opportunity and took advantage of it." - note written on a door in amsterdam on Lybaangracht strasse.
