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.

database of East Asian and/or Caucasian faces with natural gaze deviations?

by Kate Crookes

Hi All, We are hoping to find a source of face photographs with natural gaze deviations (i.e. where the models moved their eyes rather than having irises photoshopped). We need direct gaze and deviations from subtly averted (e.g., 2 degrees from direct) to obviously averted (e.g., 6 degrees from direct). We need both East Asian (preferably Chinese) and Caucasian faces ideally from the same database but we are open to getting them from different databases. Not asking for much are we ;-) If anybody knows of any databases that we can access we would love to hear from you. Thanks, Kate -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kate Crookes, PhD Rm 113 Ph: (08) 64883240 ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders School of Psychology (M304), University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia. http://www.ccd.edu.au Follow the CCD Person Perception node on twitter https://twitter.com/PersonPercept or like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CCDPersonPerception

averaging faces

by Emma Mullings

Hi there, I have been using psychomorph to average 3 faces at a time. The images are really impressive, however the neck is a bit problematic. I've attached an image as an example (left side of face just under the jawline). I was wondering if you had any advice to how I could rectify this? I was also wondering if it was possible to add more delineation points to an image?

Research Assistant job

by Karen Lander

Dear Colleagues Please see below for an Research Assistant position that we are currently advertising at the University of Manchester. Please circulate to your department, or anyone you think might be interested. See http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ALR798/mhs-06883-research-assistant/ Closing date : 22/08/2015 Reference : M&HS-06883 Faculty / Organisational unit : Medical & Human Sciences School / Directorate : School of Psychological Sciences Employment type : Fixed Term Duration : Until 31 August 2017 Location : Oxford Road, Manchester Salary : £25,513 to £27,057 per annum Hours per week : Full time Applications are invited for a 24 month full-time Research Assistant to support a Leverhulme Trust grant ‘investigating the role of movement in the recognition of facial composites’, awarded to Dr Karen Lander, Dr Charlie Frowd and Professor Tim Cootes. In this project we build on existing bodies of research regarding moving faces and composite creation, and investigate the role of motion in the recognition of identity from composites. In a criminal investigation, facial composites are images constructed by witnesses and victims of people they have seen to commit crime. This project will aid the theoretical understanding of the moving face advantage and investigate the interaction, and the relative importance, of static and dynamic information available from the face. Research on this issue may also aid the development of useful composite Your role will be to be set up, run and analyse the experiments involved in the project. You will have a degree in psychology, neuroscience or a related discipline, with a strong interest in studying experimental psychology and, more specifically, face perception and recognition. Experience in scientific research and running experiments, particularly with human volunteers, is important. Good communication and team working skills are essential and familiarity with experimental presentation, statistical software packages (e.g. SPSS) and composite creation systems (e.g. Evo-FIT, PRO-fit) would be useful. Ideally you will also have experience of image manipulation and creation techniques, including running command line tools to manipulate data. Closing date is 22nd August 2015 Many thanks Karen Lander Senior Lecturer University of Manchester
