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 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

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 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

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

*Postdoctoral position in object and face recognition* A postdoctoral research position is open at the Objects and Knowledge Laboratory, headed by Dr. Olivia Cheung, at New York University Abu Dhabi. This position is based in the New York University campus, in Manhattan, New York. The postdoctoral researcher will carry out fMRI experiments on human object, face, and letter recognition. Potential research projects include, but are not limited to, investigations of the influences of experience and conceptual knowledge on recognition processes. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, or a related field, and should possess strong programming skills (e.g., Matlab). Prior experience with neuroimaging and psychophysical techniques is required. Initial appointment is for up to two years. Review of the applications will start immediately and continue until the position is filled. The Objects and Knowledge Laboratory is part of the rapidly growing Psychology division at New York University Abu Dhabi. For this position, the postdoctoral researcher will work in New York, and will have access to neuroimaging facilitates (including MRI) at the Center for Brain Imaging, New York University. New York University has established itself as a Global Network University, a multi-site, organically connected network encompassing key global cities and idea capitals. The network has three foundational degree-granting campuses: New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai, complimented by a network of eleven research and study-away sites across five continents. Faculty and students will circulate within this global network in pursuit of common research interests and the promotion of cross-cultural and interdisciplinary solutions for problems both local and global. Interested individuals should email a curriculum vita, the expected date of availability, and contact information of two referees to Olivia Cheung ( olivia.cheung(a)nyu.edu) Informal inquires regarding the position are encouraged.
