Dear all,
My department are currently advertising a Senior Lecturer (details here) and two Lecturer (details here) positions. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from those with an interest in face processing / recognition. We have a final year option module on face processing and a number of dissertation students who are keen to investigate various aspects of face processing.
It is genuinely a great place to work and I have felt valued there from the day I started. The University have recently invested in Psychology with a brand new lab space, eye trackers and VR kit (as well as other bits and pieces) to support teaching and research.
If you want any further information, from a fellow face researcher, feel free to email me: n.butcher(a)yorksj.ac.uk informally OR contact Nathalie Noret (Head of Programme) who is the official point of contact for these positions.
Best wishes
Natalie
Hi,
Is anyone aware of/has documented detailed FACS coding for the PoFA? We are particularly interested in what additional (i.e., non-core) action units these stimuli include, as well as the intensity of the core AUs.
Thanks,
Amy

Subject: football faces of pain
Dear Colleagues,
We are working on a project to automatically classify pain/non-pain faces in football players faces. The idea is to build automatic classifiers to help the referees during world cup games distinguish "real" facial expressions of pain from "faked" expressions of pain, thereby helping to book players more fairly. Our methodology was to gather expressions from world cup videos, and then assign to positive (real pain) or negative (faked pain) class based on whether the player in question stayed off the field/on the ground for more than 30 seconds. Although we have found large numbers of negative class examples (see below for examples), we are having some difficulty identifying any positive class facial expressions. We therefore seek input from the facial expression research community into how we can adjust our methodology while gathering this important dataset of facial expressions.
Thank you for your help with this matter,
Jesse

Hi Everyone,
I'm sending this email to let you know that our recent work "Who do I look
Like? Determining Parent-offpsring resemblance via Gated-autoencoder" is
accepted for publication in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Conference in Columbus, Oh. In this paper, we look into the
parent-offspring problem from computer perspective, propose new deep
learning approach and try to answer 4 key questions that have been of
interest in other fields, e.g anthropologies.
1. Do children resemble their parents?
2. Do children resemble on parent more than the other?
3. What facial features are more genetic?
4. Do anthropological studies help computers making a better decision?
Here is the link to that paper and 1 min spotlight video:

Hi!
I was wondering whether anyone knew an image data base that contains human
and/or monkey body images take from different view points?
Thanks!

Hi Anita,
we used Psychomorph to do this by generating average neutral faces and average expression faces.
For example, 100 neutral faces generated the neutral template, 100 smiling faces generated the smiling template. We were then able to modify the shape of individual faces by set incremental amounts by warping the shape information of the individual faces between our neutral and smiling parameters. Be careful, however, because you will come up against the problem of generating posed expressions which will not be true natural expressions - and here lies the real challenge. Good luck and feel free to contact make direct at a.h.mcintyre(a)stir.ac.uk
Best wishes
Alex

Hi Anita -
we did just that with the Ekman faces probably over 10 years ago. Ralph
Adolphs did the morphing; he may still have the images. I am cc'ing him
here.

Hi Anita,
I used FantaMorph for doing the same thing, and it worked really well. If you have no luck with psychomorph, you could try that. SqirlzMorph is a free version, but it doesn't give you quite so much control.
Best of luck,
Jodie
I'm developing an online version of Psychomorph. It's still in an early, slightly buggy, stage, but is much more intuitive than the desktop version.
Email me if you want an access code, as access is by invite only for now.

Dear all of you,
My name is Anita Montagna, PhD student at the Centre for the Developing Brain.
I am looking for a software to morph pictures of faces in order to build a task of face expressions recognition.
I had a look at Psychomorph but it seems that no instructions exist online.
Could you help me?
I need to create different levels of intensities of emotions and I have neutral and 100% intensities emotional faces
Many thanks for your help,
Best regards,
Anita Montagna
