Research post in face recognition at Stirling

by Peter Hancock

I have a vacancy for a postdoc at Stirling to work on human face recognition. It's part of a 5 year EPSRC-funded project to improve the state of the art in computer face recognition, so we shall be working closely with computer scientists at the University of Surrey and Imperial College. This post is for an initial two years, with the possibility of extension. The research questions will include: * What are the effects of viewpoint, lighting and sensor noise on human familiar face recognition? * How much experience, what range of imagery, does it take to shift humans from unfamiliar face matching to familiar face recognition? * How useful to human observers are the image normalisation techniques developed for the computer recognition systems? * In general, therefore, how do human and computer abilities compare across the range of issues being tackled in this project? * How do humans achieve what they do? Further details here: http://www.stir.ac.uk/about/jobs/details/index.html?id=QUUFK026203F3VBQB7V7… Closing date is 22 Feb. There will be a second post on offer later this year. I shall also shortly be advertising a PhD studentship, aimed at modelling human face recognition. Feel free to contact me with queries.

Question for users

by Tom

Dear all I am starting a project for my MSc in which I would like to create a new set of stimuli of facial expressions of emotion using exclusively adolescent actors for use in an emotional go/nogo task and psychology research more generally. Does anyone know if a set of stimuli using strictly adolescent actors already exists? Thanks Tom Chatwin UCL Institute of Education

Public lecture: Vicki Bruce on Face Fallacies, 1st October

by Peter Hancock

Apologies to those living outside Scotland, but you are invited to our annual John Damien lecture, this year given by Professor Vicki Bruce on 'Face Fallacies': In this lecture I will describe popular misconceptions about memory for faces, and the identification of face images in passport or CCTV images, and consider their implications in legal and security settings. I will describe how research by psychologists, much of it conducted in Stirling and other universities in Scotland, has helped improve the systems used to question witnesses and guide the courts. Nevertheless, miscarriages of justice based upon misidentification remain a cause for concern. The event will take place on Thursday 01 October 2015 in the Logie Lecture Theatre at the University of Stirling, at 6:30 pm. The lecture will be accompanied by a workshop on the same day, 1st October -if you are interested in attending please get in touch with me.
