Postdoctoral Research Assistant on the neuroscience of visual processing and decision making

by Etienne B. Roesch

** Postdoc opportunity ** for neuroscientists and/or neuro-enthusiast engineers We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, adventurous, interdisciplinary neuroscientist to help us understand how humans prioritise information in support of the decisions they make. We focus on visual perception, attention and individual differences, and will be using psychometrics assessments and psychophysics measurements as well as concurrent EEG-fMRI recording. 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.

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.

Postdoc Position in Face Processing and Social Cognition

by Angela Yu

Applications are invited from highly motivated researchers for a postdoctoral position immediately available in the Computational & Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, led by Prof. Angela Yu, at University of California, San Diego. One current project of particular interest is using machine learning, computer vision, and statistical techniques to model human face processing and representation, as well as face-based social cognition. More broadly, Dr. Yu’s lab applies modern machine learning and statistical tools to extract computational principles that underlie cognitive processes that enable intelligent behavior, in particular how humans and other intelligent agents perform inference, learning, decision-making, and social interactions under conditions of uncertainty and non-stationarity. Current interests include face processing, attention, active sensing, judgement and decision making, and social cognition. Applicants should be committed to applying rigorous computational and mathematical tools to understand natural intelligence. Experience or interest in carrying out human behavioral experiments (either in person or on-line) and/or collaborating with neuroimaging/neurophysiology laboratories is desirable. Initial appointment is for one year, renewable for up to 2-3 years. Dr. Yu's lab is situated within the Cognitive Science department, and also affiliated with the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute, the Computer Science Department, the Neurosciences Graduate Program, and the Institute of Neural Computation. There are ample opportunities for collaborations with related groups across the UCSD main campus, the medical school, and the Salk Institute. Interested candidates should send a research statement (in particular explaining why you think you would be a good fit for this position in my lab), along with a CV including publications, to Dr. Angela Yu (ajyu(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ajyu@ucsd.edu>) with the subject “Postdoc Application” (I may miss your application otherwise). Two or more letters of references should be sent directly by the recommenders to ajyu(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ajyu@ucsd.edu>. More information about Dr. Yu’s group can be found at https://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu <https://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu>. ---------------------------------------------- Angela Yu Associate Professor Dept. of Cognitive Science Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute UC San Diego 858-822-3317 http://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu ----------------------------------------------

looking for sub-Saharan African and Western European face databases

by Annelies Vredeveldt

Dear fellow face researchers, For a project on cross-cultural differences in eyewitness testimony and identification, my PhD student Gabi de Bruïne and I are looking for databases of young adult male faces (real, not generated) from amongst which to select fillers for photo lineups for a black Gambian target and a white Dutch target. Ideally, we would like to select Gambian fillers and Dutch fillers, respectively, but I can imagine that would be hard to find. An alternative option would be to select a range of sub-Saharan African fillers and a range of Western European fillers, respectively. Does any of you perhaps know of any databases we could use? We have already looked at the face databases collected in this Google document <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K-Gelc-HBgbwsDKWraCubGVf30uOrnTo3FT…>, and found some Western European faces (some Dutch, Scottish, Danish) and some sub-Saharan African faces (South African), but not enough of a range to make the lineup work, particularly for the African target. Any help or advice would be much appreciated! Many thanks, Annelies *Dr. Annelies Vredeveldt* Associate Professor *| *Department of Criminal Law and Criminology *| *Faculty of Law *| *VU University Amsterdam +31 20 59 83 153 *| *a.vredeveldt(a)vu.nl *| *www.annelies.vredeveldt.com <http://annelies.vredeveldt.com/> *|* www.allp.nl

databases needed: including residence information of the depicted persons

by Claudia Menzel

Dear all, for a research project, I am looking for databases that include at least one measure of facial appearance (i.e., face photographs or rating data) and at least one measure for the current or previous residence of the person depicted (i.e., city name, city size, GPS data, zip code, level of urbanization, or greenness of neighbourhood). Do you know of any database that has data for both variables (facial apearance /and /residence) available? I am grateful for all kind of suggestions. Thank you!
