Dear all, There is new study out for Android and iOS from the Institute of Neurology at University College London that seeks to determine if seeing smiling faces can make you happier. It is based on facial mimicry and we are comparing the effect of seeing smiling faces to landscapes and need many people to participate to see if this could become an effective complementary drug free intervention to battle low mood.

Bangor lecturer position

by Robert Ward

The School of Psychology at Bangor has an opening at lecturer level with an emphasis on consumer psychology and/or commercialisation. Although the research specialism is open, given the wide applications of face research in these contexts (e.g., in face recognition and in social attributions) I thought it was worth mentioning here. This kind of position might be especially appropriate for someone wanting to combine the basic and applied value of their work.

Face database with Oriental and Occidental faces

by Joscha Stecker

Dear all, we're searching for a face database with stimuli including ideally both - a) faces from the Middle East/ Oriental looking faces and - b) faces from Western society / Occidental looking faces. Some more charachteristics that might be helpfull for us: - more than 20 males & 20 females in each group a) and b) - standardized photo-sets with minimal variation of background and orientations - neutral expression and/or natural variation of emotion and/or different emotions for each face - licence agreement allowing the use for non-profit academic research - the actual origin (Occidental/ Oriental) of the people showed in the photos - any further data on face characteristics, external face ratings or characteristics of the targets shown would be great (albeit not a prerequisite) Within a project on the psychology of forced migration (University of Muenster, Germany; Prof. Mitja Back), we're planning to examine personality perceptions based on photos of Oriental and Occidental faces. Therefore we're glad for every idea concerning a face database including the above characteristics. Thanks in advance and best regards, Joscha Stecker

I am looking for face databases to create average faces

by Christophe Bousquet

Dear Members of the mailing list, I am about to start a project on face recognition in humans, and a part of this project requires to create different average faces (variation according to age and ethnic group). In order to increase the representativity of our average faces, I am looking for databases of faces with known characteristics (at least date of birth of the participant and date of picture taken, as well as age and ethnic group). Ideally, the pictures would have been taken in front of a uniform background. Many thanks in advance for your kind help, Christophe Bousquet Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.ch), encrypted email based in Switzerland.

2nd CFP: Third Workshop on Computer Vision for Affective Computing @ ACCV 2016

by abhinav dhall

Apologies for multiple postings --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Workshop on Computer Vision for Affective Computing (CV4AC) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV) 2016, Taiwan https://sites.google.com/site/thirdcv4ac/ Affective computing deals with analyzing the affect using different modalities. Computer vision undoubtedly is one of the primary modalities in affective computing. Given the recent advancement in computer vision areas such as face and facial parts detection, body parts detection and scene analysis, it has opened up avenues for analyzing the affective state of subjects and the affect conveyed by scenes. This workshop invites researchers to submit their original work proposing methods inferring affect using computer vision. The workshop focusses on the `in the wild' aspect of affect recognition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the papers: Image and Video based facial expression analysis Emotion recognition in the wild Pose estimation for affect analysis Scene recognition for affect analysis Gesture recognition for affect analysis Gaze and attention for affect analysis Saliency detection for affect analysis Activity recognition for affect analysis Fiducial points detection Temporal models for face analysis Spontaneous affect databases Arts and media Applications in entertainment, healthcare and games --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates Paper submission: August 15 Acceptance notice: September 10 Camera read due: September 17 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organisers Abhinav Dhall, University of Waterloo Roland Goecke, University of Canberra/Australian National University O. V. Ramana Murthy , Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, India Jesse Hoey, University of Waterloo Nicu Sebe, University of Trento For any queries please contact: abhinav.dhall(a)uwaterloo.ca
