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

Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition / Psychology
Carnegie Mellon University
Postdoctoral Position: Encoding of Objects and Faces in Human IT
Supervisor: Michael Tarr
Soliciting applications - to be considered on a rolling basis - for a
postdoctoral researcher working with Michael Tarr at Carnegie Mellon in
beautiful Pittsburgh PA, USA. The goal of this project is to collaborate
with lab members on studies using non-invasive neuroimaging (fMRI, DSI,
MEG) to explore how objects and faces are encoded within the human
ventral pathway. A successful candidate should have experience in the
design and analysis of neuroimaging experiments - particularly fMRI -
as well as some experience using computational tools for both data
analysis (e.g., linear classifiers) and modeling/simulation.
More on Carnegie Mellon and the CNBC.
We have particular interests in face, object, scene, and event
recognition and the role of experience in shaping our perceptual
systems. Methodologies we use include neuroimaging (ERPs, MEG, fMRI, and
DSI/HDFT), the study of atypical populations (neuropsychological case
studies, autism, and dyslexia), neurophysiology, eyetracking, behavioral
psychophysics combined with advanced stimulus generation and
manipulation, computational modeling, and machine learning for data
understanding, all applied across the lifespan (infancy through older
adulthood). Core faculty span the departments of Psychology, Statistics,
Biological Sciences, Machine Learning, and Robotics, as well as the
Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. Our facilities include a new
campus-based 3T Siemens Verio MRI scanner, a MEG facility, and a new
high-performance computing cluster for modeling, simulation, and data
analysis.
More on Pittsburgh.
The academic community in Pittsburgh is uniquely interdisciplinary and
collaborative. Through the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition and
our physical proximity to Pitt, we have strong ties to the University of
Pittsburgh Center for Neuroscience, Psychology, and medical school.
Within CMU trainees often work across units, pursuing multidisciplinary
research. The city of Pittsburgh is also a highly supportive and vibrant
community. Over the past two decades, Pittsburgh, one of the greenest
cities in America, has reinvented itself as an educational and medical
hub, but has retained much of the infrastructure from its industrial
past, including a wide variety of museums, a world-class symphony,
professional sports teams, and an extensive urban park system. With
Pittsburgh's renaissance the city has grown to include an eclectic
restaurant scene and a variety of funky neighborhoods. CMU's strength in
the fine arts has also fostered an active arts scene, including many
theaters, film festivals, music venues, and galleries. Reflecting this,
in May of 2010 Pittsburgh was on ranked as the most livable city in
America by Forbes magazine.
The position is for one year, and renewable for one additional year
based on first year evaluation. Salary will be based on NIH
postdoctoral scales. Applicants should send a cover letter (with
potential starting date), a CV, a research statement, and the names of
at least three references to info(a)tarrlab.org <mailto:info@tarrlab.org>

This message is intended to reply to Rachel Robbins' request, but it may be of more general interest to others here. The faces I have made available to a number of people for research are indeed not available for publication, but a good alternative is to use synthetic faces - we have produced some software (ID) here at Cape Town that does a good job of producing highly realistic synthetic faces (not identifiable by blind raters as synthetic faces at levels above chance). It is very similar in many respects to the programs EVOFIT (Frowd and Hancock), and EIGENFIT (Solomon and Gibson et al.)
I'll send you a couple of these if you are interested, Rachel.

Hi everyone,
I ran a study using some great faces from Colin Tredoux, but the faces
do not have permission for publication so I need just a few black
African faces that I can use to make example stimuli for the paper
(preferably black South African, but African-American or other parts
of African would do). If any one has some, or knows a database that
has some please let me know!
(The Cohn-Kanade database has some but they are not the ones available
for publication).
Thanks!
Rachel

Hi all,
I'm a PhD student working with Vicki Bruce and Debbie Riby at Newcastle Uni, looking at the profiles of those with Williams Syndrome and ASDs in interpreting emotions from faces. Nicola, there is an excellent faces database, that I think sounds like what you need (although might not quite have enough photos but could be a start!) here: http://www.socsci.ru.nl:8180/RaFD2/RaFD?p=overview. You have to request access to it but they're generally happy to grant it as long as you're using the database for academic research.
Hope that helps!

Hi all,
I think this list is a great idea; thanks for letting me join it!
Just a quick introduction...I worked with Debbie Riby as a research
assistant 2 years ago looking at attention to faces in Williams
Syndrome. I recently completed my MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at the
University of York where for my dissertation I looked at the
representation of shape and texture of faces in the brain, supervised by
Tim Andrews. I am just starting a PhD at Northumbria University looking
at neurocognitive performance in Type 2 diabetes, looking particularly
at the role of glycaemic control and task difficulty on recognition
memory.
I am in the initial stages of planning for my very first experiment and
am looking for a face image database of at least 100 different faces
(male and female, neutral expressions) which are high resolution,
frontal view colour photographs. I have looked through several databases
but they either do not have enough photos or the quality is not great.
If anyone has access to a set or could point me in the right direction,
I would be most grateful.
Thanks and best wishes to all,

Hi Kevin,
congratulations on the acceptance of your paper to JESP. Peter and I are on the process of finalising an ORB submission and it sounds like we should really be referencing your work. Would it be possible for us to read this paper,
Kind regards

Hello Everybody,
Firstly thank you Peter for starting this list; I am sure it will prove very useful to all involved.
I will also introduce myself. My name is Kevin, and I have been working in the area of face perception and recognition since my undergraduate degree. I am now writing up my doctoral thesis at the University of Birmingham, where I have been investigating how social categorization influences perceptual processing and memory for same-and other-race faces.
Within the last week, I am pleased to announce I have had my first set of PhD studies accepted for publication in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, where I investigated how social categorization influenced same-race and other-race processing in intra-or interracial contexts.
My research interests in face perception are broad, but mainly focus on two ideas: (1) How social information determines the form of processing and memory outcome for faces (2) How and why are faces categorized into groups? (Whether these are salient or non-salient group memberships). Anybody who is interested in my work, please feel free to contact me.
I also hope this list will prove useful in helping us form ideas, and even collaborations.
Kind Regards,
Kevin Cassidy

Hi everybody,
I am really glad of this face-list initiative and I will also take a chance
to introduce myself briefly.
My name is Chiara, I have worked on the recognition of emotional facial
expressions since my undergraduate thesis - I am now completing my first
post-doc -, and I am so fond of the topic that I wish to stay in the field
of faces for many more years!
During my PhD I focused on some aspects of the expressions' recognition
ability that can be captured by using naturalistic dynamic displays (i.e.
the existence of a dynamic advantage for facial expressions, or the ability
of the observer to rely on the dynamic invariants of facial expressions).
As a Post-doc at UCL, I am investigating facial expression recognition as a
part of the Broad Autism Phenotype in Relatives, asking whether subtle
abnormalities in perceiving facial expressions are a shared cognitive
feature in families with children with Autism.
I join the others in hoping that this list can help building "bridges"
between face scientists, allowing us to share knowledge, ideas, and doubts.
A presto,
chiara

Dear face researchers --
Many of you will hopefully have received our notifications, but in
case you have missed them:
We are holding the 2011 Asia-Pacific Conference on Vision at the
University of Hong Kong, 15-18 July 2011. The conference covers all
aspects of vision from single-unit neurophysiology to visual
cognition, and we expect a decent number of presentations on faces and
objects. For more information, please see the following site:
http://www.apcv.net/
The deadline for submissions is Thursday this week (10 March) -- but
if you don't have time to prepare an abstract before then we could
probably accommodate you as long as you let me know before the
deadline that you're interested in making a submission.
Hope to see you in Hong Kong!
Best
Will

Good morning everyone
I'm very excited to be part of this list. As an introduction, I am Lisa Parr, working on comparative social cognition in nonhuman primates, evaluating species differences as a means for assessing human specializations. My take on social cognition has focused on how monkeys and apes process identity and expression from faces. I have been at the Yerkes National Primate Reserach Center in Atlanta, GA since 1992, when I joined the lab of Dr. Frans de Waal as a research technician. I graduated from Emory with a PhD in Psychology in 2000. My thesis explored emotional behavior and expression in chimpanzees. For the last several years, our work has been dedicated towards understanding similarities and differences in the face processing of chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys. Our subjects perform computerized tasks where they are required to match faces based on a number of dimensions. We have studied inversion effects, composite effects, individual recognition, specific changes in facial viewpoint, contrast reversal, thatcher illusions, expression and identity categorization and most recently we have been working with Peter and his team to identify the physical features that differentiate the faces of monkeys and apes differ using PCA analysis and face composites.
It might be interesting to some on this list that we have developed two nonhuman primate FACS systems, a ChimpFACS and a MaqFACS (rhesus macaques) in collaboration with researchers in both the US and UK. These can be found on my website.
http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~lparr/index.html
I'm looking forward to "meeting" and interacting with everyone.
sincerely
Lisa

Hi everyone,
I'll also take the chance to introduce myself, as a very junior member
of the group (great idea, it's a shame we haven't had something like
this until now...).
I just completed my PhD on face perception at the Max Planck Institute
for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, in Heinrich Bülthoff's
Department, mainly supervised by Isabelle Bülthoff. In my thesis, I
explored different aspects of how faces are processed and encoded, using
psychophysics, eye-tracking, and a high-level adaptation approach (this
study I did in Gillian Rhodes' FaceLab in Perth). Currently, I am
working on projects about how the sex of faces is represented in the
brain (using an fMRI adaptation paradigm) and about cultural differences
in eye-movements, together with colleagues from the Department of Brain
and Cognitive Engineering at Korea University.
And, I am looking for a post-doc position - so if anyone has anything to
offer, please think of me :-). I would be particularly interested in
studying how face processing and encoding (in healthy and maybe impaired
individuals) is shaped by experience. But since our field offers a lot
of interesting questions to tackle, there might be other projects just
as exciting…
Looking forward to more face-related posts/discussions/exchange,
Best,

Hi everybody,
I am really glad of this face-list initiative and I will also take a chance
to introduce myself briefly.
My name is Chiara, I have worked on the recognition of emotional facial
expressions since my undergraduate thesis - I am now completing my first
post-doc -, and I am so fond of the topic that I wish to stay in the field
of faces for many more years!
During my PhD I focused on some aspects of the expressions' recognition
ability that can be captured by using naturalistic dynamic displays (i.e.
the existence of a dynamic advantage for facial expressions, or the ability
of the observer to rely on the dynamic invariants of facial expressions).
As a Post-doc at UCL, I am investigating facial expression recognition as a
part of the Broad Autism Phenotype in Relatives, asking whether subtle
abnormalities in perceiving facial expressions are a shared cognitive
feature in families with children with Autism.
I join the others in hoping that this list can help building "bridges"
between face scientists, allowing us to share knowledge, ideas, and doubts.
A presto,
chiara

Hi Mike,
I work here at Stirling and recently submitted a grant proposal with Peter Hancock to develop an affective image data set. We would be extremely keen to review the video materials you mention, even if the actual footage is a little dated it will certainly help us to develop more current materials,
best wishes
Alex

Hi All,
Just wanted to intoduce myself. I'm probably the most junior member here!
Currently I'm working on my undergraduate disstertation looking at methods
to reduce the other race effect. I'm supervised by Peter Hancock who has
also employed me on summer bursaries here at Stirling University. I'm
interested in several aspects of face recognition other than the other race
effect especially failures in face processing and processing differences
between familiar and unfamiliar faces.
I'm hoping to do a face research related PhD as soon as I graduate this
summer.
Best,
Catherine
