New makeup spoofing dataset --------------------------------------------------------------- Link: http://www.antitza.com/makeup-datasets.html The Makeup Induced Face Spoofing ( MIFS ) dataset consists of 107 makeup-transformations taken from random YouTube makeup video tutorials. Each subject is attempting to spoof a target identity. Hence we provide three sets of face images: images of a subject before makeup; images of the same subject after makeup with the intention of spoofing; and images of the target subject who is being spoofed.

Research in the group focuses on the investigation of neural mechanisms of human communication using a broad spectrum of neuroscientific methods (functional and structural MRI, MEG, tDCS, TMS). Research involves typically developed populations as well as populations with developmental communication deficits (developmental dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, phonagnosia, proposagnosia). The position will involve recruiting participants, running behavioural tests, assistance with data-acquisition in MRI, TMS and tDCS studies, assistance with data analyses, assistance with grant applications and literature searches, attending lab meetings, supervising undergraduate students in the lab and overseeing day-to-day lab operations. The candidate should have a university degree in psychology, neuroscience, or a related topic or dedicated vocational training (e.g. medical/psychological technical assistant). Strong organisational and communication skills, and an excellent command of the English and German language are essential. Experience with clinical populations (particularly autism spectrum disorder, developmental dyslexia) and/or research experience in experimental psychology or related disciplines would be advantageous. The position is initially for one year, with the possibility of an extension, and it is on a part-time (20 hours/week) basis. The ideal starting date is 15.10.2017. A later start is also possible. Remuneration is based on the payscale of the Max Planck Society. The Max Planck society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.

Experiences with Noldus Facereader or iMotion

by Edwin Burns (Dr)

Dear all, Does anyone have any experience with Noldus Facereader or iMotion? Our lab is about to purchase one of these software packages, but we’d like to get some feedback from researchers that have had practical experience with either or both. We’ve got 3 questions: 1) What do you think of the software in general? 2) How is the technical support? Are they good at responding to any questions after purchase and readily help with any problems? 3) How well do they work in low light conditions? Any feedback on the above will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance. ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY: This email is intended solely for the person(s) named and may be confidential and/or privileged.

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?

photo comparison

by Peter Hancock

Dear all, apologies if you regard this as noise, but I decided to send on this post from a fellow academic, though I cropped out the relevant faces to save bandwidth. There may be some facial comparison experts on the list who would like to have a look. My approach would be wisdom of the crowds, since there can never be certainty. Peter. Dear face-research group, Please forgive this unsolicited note. An academic colleague at UCL thought you might be able to advise with regard to the two women in the attached pictures? Whether the woman standing to the left of the seated man in uniform (looking at the picture) is the same person as the married woman in the other image? I hope you don't mind my writing but it would be reassuring to know. The married woman in the twosome is Edith Thompson. My book on her was published by Hamish Hamilton and Penguin in 1988 / 1990, and again in 2001. I am currently working on a digital database about the case and the 1920s. The photograph of the threesome derives from her younger brother's estate but does not identify any of the people in it. If it turned out that the young woman in the threesome is indeed Edith Thompson, assuming that it is possible to have any kind of near-certainty in face recognition, that would throw a valuable light on her tragically short life; and possibly open up a new area of research. Thank you for bearing with me and apologies again for thus trespassing on your time. I will of course fully understand if you are too busy to deal with this query. Best wishes, René Weis <r.weis(a)ucl.ac.uk> Peter Hancock Professor, Deputy Head of Psychology, Faculty of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://stir.ac.uk/190 http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6025-7068 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/A-4633-2009 Psychology at Stirling: 100% 4* Impact, REF2014 Come and study Face Perception at the University of Stirling!
