PhD position in face perception and motion perception in Singapore

by Charles Or

PhD student openings are available in the lab of Dr. Charles Or (http://research.ntu.edu.sg/expertise/academicprofile/Pages/StaffProfile.asp…) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore to perform original research in the areas of face perception, visual motion perception, and form perception. Our work focuses on understanding (1) the human brain’s rapid and holistic nature of face detection, categorization, and recognition, and (2) the neural interaction of visual motion and form information in pattern and object recognition. We use a combination of approaches including psychophysics, eye tracking, EEG, and computational modelling. The lab is housed in the Psychology Division of the School of Social Sciences, with a rapidly expanding group of researchers interested in experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience. We are also part of the multidisciplinary Cognition and Neuroscience research cluster and Neuroscience, society, and governance research cluster. We have access to state-of-the-art facilities for psychophysics, eye tracking, EEG, MEG, fMRI, fNIRS, TMS, and tDCS. Applicants should have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in cognitive science, experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, computer science, or related fields. The ideal candidate should be driven by scientific curiosity and self-motivated, with awareness of relevant literature, an excellent command in written and spoken English, and a strong background in statistical data analysis (e.g., SPSS, R). Aptitudes and interests in mathematics and computer programming (e.g. MATLAB, Python) are preferred. NTU is a young and research-intensive university ranking consistently amongst the top 10 in Asia and the 1st amongst young universities under 50. It has been ranked consistently and progressively under the top 100 universities in the world by the Times Higher Education since 2013, leaping its ranking into 52nd in 2017/2018. Singapore is a fascinating, dynamic multi-cultural city in Southeast Asia with a large expat community, and a great hub for exploring neighbouring travel destinations. PhD Scholarships are available through the university and outside sources for Singaporeans (including permanent residents), as well as overseas applicants (http://admissions.ntu.edu.sg/graduate/scholarships/Pages/default.aspx). Applicants should apply through the university admission website (http://admissions.ntu.edu.sg/graduate/R-Programs/R-WhenYouApply/Pages/R-How…) by 15th November (for CoHASS) for an expected start date in August 2018.

Individual differences in face perception and person recognition - That's CRPI

by Peter Hancock

ANNOUNCING A NEW SPECIAL ISSUE or, as we say in the Open Access, On-Line World, A New Thematic Series for Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications (CRPI) Individual differences in face perception and person recognition. Co-organizers: Professor Vicki Bruce, Newcastle University (Vicki.Bruce(a)ncl.ac.uk<mailto:Vicki.Bruce@ncl.ac.uk>) Dr Karen Lander, University of Manchester (Karen.Lander(a)manchester.ac.uk<mailto:Karen.Lander@manchester.ac.uk>) Dr Markus Bindemann, University of Kent (M.Bindemann(a)kent.ac.uk<mailto:M.Bindemann@kent.ac.uk>) The field of face perception and person recognition has developed rapidly over the past 40 years, and we now have advanced understanding of how human brains process human faces, and the relationships between face processing and the perception of other aspects of the person such as voices and bodies. Despite this increase in knowledge, problems of misidentification continue to arise in criminal and security contexts, and many wider social activities rely on accurate reading of faces from subtle social signals. Recent research has highlighted considerable variability in individual abilities to decipher and recognise faces. For example, much attention has been given to recruiting ‘super’-recognisers who are particularly good at face recognition to assist in the identification of criminals. Can an understanding of individual differences more widely help in the recruitment and/or training of professionals, or in the use of eyewitness testimony? This special topic seeks research papers that investigate the nature of individual differences in face perception and/or person recognition, and which consider theoretical alongside applied implications of their findings. Please email one or more of the guest editors with any questions about submissions. CRPI is the open access journal of the Psychonomic Society. Its mission is to publish use-inspired basic research<https://cognitiveresearchjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41235-0…>: fundamental cognitive research that grows from hypotheses about real-world problems. As with all Psychonomic Society journals, submissions to CRPI are subject to rigorous peer review. For manuscripts accepted for the special issue, the publication fee may be fully or partially waived depending on the number of manuscripts accepted for the special issue. The authors should indicate when they submit a manuscript if they are requesting a waiver of the publication fee. Deadline: manuscripts should be submitted before December 31st, 2017 You can find manuscript submission details at http://cognitiveresearchjournal.springeropen.com/submission-guidelines/prep… Jeremy M Wolfe, PhD Professor of Ophthalmology & Radiology, Harvard Medical School Visual Attention Lab Department of Surgery Brigham & Women's Hospital 64 Sidney St. Suite. 170 Cambridge, MA 02139-4170 Phone: 617-768-8818 Fax: 617-768-8816 Best email:jwolfe@bwh.harvard.edu<mailto:jwolfe@bwh.harvard.edu> Backup: jeremywolfe0131(a)gmail.com<mailto:jeremywolfe0131@gmail.com> URL: search.bwh.harvard.edu<http://search.bwh.harvard.edu> Editor: Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications (CRPI) CRPI is the new open access, peer-reviewed journal of the Psychonomics Society Do you do "use-inspired, basic research" in Cognition?
