Dear Colleagues, We are conducting a meta-analysis on the body inversion effect, which reflects the difference in recognition between upright and inverted body stimuli. Our goal is to provide a summary of this effect, including the magnitude and moderating factors that influence the effect.We are seeking unpublished data from studies that meet the following criteria: 1. Neurotypical participants completed a visual body perception/recognition task that include upright and inverted conditions. 2. Body stimuli are human bodies (either computer generated or real images) 3. Outcome measures of perception/recognition were collected for both upright and inverted conditions. These may include behavioral accuracy (% correct, hit rate), electrophysiological data (e.g., N170 signal), or neuroimaging data. If you have data that fit these criteria and you would like to share your data to be included in our synthesis, please contact Flora Oswald (feo5020(a)psu.edu<mailto:feo5020@psu.edu>) by October 18, 2021.

Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the need for virtual diagnosis and monitoring health protocols such as regulating social distancing, surveillance of individuals wearing masks in-crowd, gauging body temperature and other physiological measurements from distance. Consequently, researchers from computer vision, as well as from the medical science community have given significant attention to goals ranging from patient analysis and monitoring to diagnostics (e.g., for dementia, depression, healthcare, physiological measurement, rare neurologic diseases). Moreover, healthcare represents an area of broad economic, social, and scientific impact. The goal of this special session is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in this area of computer vision and medical science and to address a wide range of theoretical and practical issues related to real-life healthcare systems. We especially invite papers resulting from collaboration between technical and clinical experts. Hence, this FG Special Session represents a venue for fostering these collaborations, providing a unique and welcoming environment for transdisciplinary research that is sometimes labelled as being “too clinical” by technical journals or “too technical” by clinical journals. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:  Health monitoring based on face analysis,  Health monitoring based on gesture analysis,  Health monitoring based corporeal-based visual features,  Depression analysis based on visual features,  Face analytics for human behaviour understanding,  Anxiety diagnosis based on face and gesture,  Physiological measurement employing face analytics,  Databases on health monitoring, e.g., depression analysis,  Augmentative and alternative communication,  Human-robot interaction,  Home healthcare,  Technology for cognition,  Automatic emotional hearing and understanding,  Visual attention and visual saliency,  Assistive living,  Privacy-preserving systems,  Quality of life technologies,  Mobile and wearable systems,  Applications for the visually impaired,  Sign language recognition and applications for hearing impaired,  Applications for the ageing society,  Personalized monitoring,  Egocentric and first-person vision,  Assessing physical and/or cognitive ability based on face and body movement analysis,  Orofacial assessment in clinical populations,  Hand function assessment in clinical populations,  Assessment of gait and/or balance,  Assistive technology,  Applications to improve health and wellbeing of children and elderly.

images of composites for a book

by Catriona.Havard

Dear all I hope you're all well. I was wondering if there was anyone who would be willing to send me some composite facial images I can use for my book chapter. Ideally it would eb great if there were soe from different systems, e.g. EFIT V, EvoFit, versus the older system EFIT, PhotoFit, Faces etc... I am trying to demonstrate the newer holistic systems create more life-like and recognisable composites compared to the older feature based systems. Also if anyone has specific examples of composites that have successfully been used by the police and have led to arrests/convictions it would be really great if I could include one of those too.

From: Ailsa E Millen Sent: 06 July 2021 16:07 To: face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk<mailto:face-research-list@lists.stir.ac.uk>. Subject: Postdoctoral Research Fellow Vacancy Dr Ailsa Millen is offering a full-time, fixed-term Postdoctoral Research Fellow position to work on the ESRC project 'Identifying Novel Markers of Concealed Face Recognition' https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/work-at-stirling/list/details/?jobId=2584&jobT… starting August 2021 (or as soon as possible thereafter). Ailsa is seeking an excellent postdoctoral research fellow to conduct experiments combining eye-tracking, skin conductance, facial expressions and vocal cues. Excellent programming and analysis skills are essential. A crucial aspect of this role is to streamline the completion of the existing ESRC grant by taking over programming, data analysis, and manuscript writing so these skills are essential prior to starting. The project aims to further our understanding of how our brains recognise faces and find ways to help the police detect crime (www.conface.org<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.confac…>).

Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the need for virtual diagnosis and monitoring health protocols such as regulating social distancing, surveillance of individuals wearing masks in-crowd, gauging body temperature and other physiological measurements from distance. Consequently, researchers from computer vision, as well as from the medical science community have given significant attention to goals ranging from patient analysis and monitoring to diagnostics (e.g., for dementia, depression, healthcare, physiological measurement, rare neurologic diseases). Moreover, healthcare represents an area of broad economic, social, and scientific impact. The goal of this special session is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in this area of computer vision and medical science and to address a wide range of theoretical and practical issues related to real-life healthcare systems. We especially invite papers resulting from collaboration between technical and clinical experts. Hence, this FG Special Session represents a venue for fostering these collaborations, providing a unique and welcoming environment for transdisciplinary research that is sometimes labelled as being “too clinical” by technical journals or “too technical” by clinical journals. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:  Health monitoring based on face analysis,  Health monitoring based on gesture analysis,  Health monitoring based corporeal-based visual features,  Depression analysis based on visual features,  Face analytics for human behaviour understanding,  Anxiety diagnosis based on face and gesture,  Physiological measurement employing face analytics,  Databases on health monitoring, e.g., depression analysis,  Augmentative and alternative communication,  Human-robot interaction,  Home healthcare,  Technology for cognition,  Automatic emotional hearing and understanding,  Visual attention and visual saliency,  Assistive living,  Privacy-preserving systems,  Quality of life technologies,  Mobile and wearable systems,  Applications for the visually impaired,  Sign language recognition and applications for hearing impaired,  Applications for the ageing society,  Personalized monitoring,  Egocentric and first-person vision,  Assessing physical and/or cognitive ability based on face and body movement analysis,  Orofacial assessment in clinical populations,  Hand function assessment in clinical populations,  Assessment of gait and/or balance,  Assistive technology,  Applications to improve health and wellbeing of children and elderly.

Glasgow Face Matching Test 2 (GFMT2)

by David White

GLASGOW FACE MATCHING TEST 2 (GFMT2) A new psychometric test of face matching ability has been developed by UNSW Sydney and University of York and is freely available for scientific use. White, D., Guilbert, D., Varela, V.P.L. Renkins, R., & Burton, A. M. (2021). GFMT2: A psychometric measure of face matching ability. Behavior Research Methods. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-021-01638-x GFMT2 is a new expanded version of the original Glasgow Face Matching Test. Test forms include: GFMT2-S: A short 80 item test with test-retest reliability over a week r = 0.774. There are two equally difficult 40-item forms for use in experimental intervention studies. GFMT-Low: Specifically designed to target lower than average performers, suited for assessing acquired or developmental prosopagnosia. GFMT2-High: Specifically designed to target higher than average performers, suited for assessing super-recognisers and certain professional groups. Short tests do not contain repeating identities, nor items from the original GFMT. Image pairs now include variation in head angle, pose, expression and subject-to-camera distance, making the new test more difficult and more representative of challenges in everyday face identification tasks. The publication is available here: https://rdcu.be/cm1YR Executable versions of the test are available for PC and MAC via: www.gfmt2.org

Full time, fixed term for up to 24 months, with possibility of extension. This role falls in the remit of CHAI, a new £2.4M research project funded by the UK EPSRC and led by the Internet of Things and Security Centre (ISEC) at the University of Greenwich, in collaboration with University College London (UCL), the University of Bristol and Queen Mary University of London, as well as industrial partners. As a follow up to the €1.5M EU project “Cocoon: Emotion psychology meets Cyber Security” (2016-2020) led by us, which measured and established how users of connected Internet-of-Things devices react to cyber security risks, “CHAI: Cyber Hygiene in AI-enabled domestic life” (2021-2024) examines the particular threats posed by Artificial Intelligence. CHAI addresses the challenge of figuring out how to best help users protect themselves against the security risks they will face in a world supported by AI (see: http://bit.ly/chai-introduction-video). The role advertised relates to the fundamental research on human decision making that will inform the technical and pedagogical developments of our partners in the project. The remit is intentionally flexible to allow emerging opportunities for collaborations and includes funding for networking and training. You will have: - excellent computer and statistical skills, including a programming language (Python) - experience analysing neuroimaging data, including EEG and/or fMRI - the motivation to pursue research at the interface between academia and industry This work will be carried out in the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience & Neurodynamics (CINN), in the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, at the University of Reading. CINN is a research platform currently gathering over 100 research staff and students. It is host to a research-dedicated 3T PRISMA Siemens MR scanner, MR compatible EEG (Brain Products) and TMS (MagVenture) equipments, eye-tracking and versatile computing clusters (incl. cloud management and GPUs), all of which available to the project. Other research projects in the lab currently include the development of a novel Bayesian framework for the analysis of data in psychology and neuroscience, neuroimaging of visual perception and attention, as well as projects with industrial partners on topics as varied as machine learning and brain-computer interfaces for a wide range of sectors. CINN and the School of Psychology are a tight-knit community, committed to open research and reproducibility, at the forefront of what is done in the UK in many ways. The post holder will have the opportunity to participate in many initiatives, and propose new ones, including training events on reproducibility, and best practices in neuroimaging, data analysis and coding, including Software Carpentry workshops. The University of Reading was the first University in the UK to publicly commit to open research. It is one of the first institutional members of the UK Reproducibility Network, and a member of the data and software Carpentries. The University is signatory to the Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics (http://leidenmanifesto.org), is committed to having a diverse and inclusive workforce, supports the gender equality Athena SWAN Charter and the Race Equality Charter, and is a Diversity Champion for Stonewall, the leading LGBT+ rights organisation in the UK. Applications for job-share, part-time and flexible working arrangements are welcomed and will be considered in line with the project’s needs.

CFP Frontiers Research Topic: Affective Shared Perception

by Pablo Vinicius Alves De Barros

Call For Papers - Frontiers Research Topic: Affective Shared Perception I. Aim and Scope Our perception of the world depends on both sensory inputs and prior knowledge. This applies in general to sensing and has particular implications for affective understanding. Humans adapt their social and affective perception as a function of the current stimulation, of the context, of the history of the interaction, and as of the status of the partner. This influences their behavior, which in turn modifies the social and affective perception of both partners and the evolution of the interaction. Understanding shared perception as part of affective processing will allow us to tackle this problem and to provide the next step towards a real-world affective computing system. The goal of this research topic is to present and discuss new findings, theories, systems, and trends in affective shared perception and computational models. We are interested in collecting interesting and exciting research from researchers on the areas of social cognition, affective computing, and human-robot interaction, including also, but not restricted to specialists in computer and cognitive science, psychologists, neuroscientists, and specialists in bio-inspired solutions. We envision that it will allow us to tackle the existing problems in this area and it will provide the next step towards a real-world affective computing system. II. Potential Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: - Affective perception and learning - Affective modulation and decision making - Developmental perspectives of shared perception - Machine learning for shared perception - Bio-inspired approaches for affective shared perception - Affective processing for embodied and cognitive robots - Multisensory modeling for conflict resolution in shared perception - New psychological findings on shared perception - Assistive aspects and applications of shared affective perception III. Submission - Abstract - 24 October 2020 - Paper Submission - 21 February 2021 IV.
