Postdoctoral position in face perception

by Richard Russell

A postdoctoral position is available in the Gettysburg College Perception Laboratory (http://public.gettysburg.edu/~rrussell/laboratory.html). We perform basic research investigating human face perception, with a focus on how age, sex, health, and beauty are perceived from the face. We are also interested in understanding the use of cosmetics and other systems for artificially manipulating facial appearance. Methods include traditional experimental psychology approaches such as psychophysics, as well as anthropometry and image analysis. The postdoctoral associate will work closely with Dr. Richard Russell in the Psychology Department, and will collaborate with the Centre de Recherches et d'Investigations Épidermiques et Sensorielles (CE.R.I.E.S.) in Paris, France. Gettysburg College is a highly selective small liberal arts college, and its Department of Psychology has a strong empirical research tradition. Gettysburg is a picturesque and historic small town with a low cost of living that is 75 minutes from Baltimore and 90 minutes from Washington, DC. The successful candidate will have completed or be close to completing a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Biology, or a related discipline. Start date is negotiable. The position is for one year with the possibility of renewal for subsequent years. The annual salary is $40,000 and comes with a competitive package of benefits. Inquiries should be sent to Richard Russell rrussell(a)gettysburg.edu<mailto:rrussell@gettysburg.edu>. Richard Russell, PhD Assistant Professor of Psychology | Gettysburg College 300 North Washington Street | Gettysburg, PA 17325 | USA http://public.gettysburg.edu/~rrussell/

PhD position

by Katharina von Kriegstein

We are seeking a PhD student to work in the group ‘Neural mechanisms of human communication’ at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI-CBS), in Leipzig, Germany. The goal of the group is to investigate neural mechanisms of human communication by using several methods of systems neuroscience (fMRI, sMRI, MEG, TMS, tDCS, brainstem recordings, eye tracking). Experiments involve healthy controls, as well as subjects with selective communication deficits (i.e. developmental dyslexia, autism spectrum disorders, developmental prosopagnosia and phonagnosia). An additional emphasis is placed on linking the experimental work to computational models. The research is conducted at the MPI-CBS in Leipzig, Germany, an internationally leading centre for cognitive and imaging neuroscience equipped with a 7.0 T MRI scanner, several 3.0 T MRI scanners, a 306 channels MEG system, TMS, tDCS and several EEG systems. All facilities and data analysis are supported by experienced IT and physics staff. PhD students will have the opportunity to participate in an International Max-Planck Research School. The candidate must have a master degree (or equivalent) in neuroscience, medicine, psychology, or a related field. The candidate is expected to be a talented, innovative and enthusiastic researcher with an interest in working on projects within the general framework of the group. The ideal candidate will have experience in the acquisition and analysis of neuroscientific or behavioural data. Starting date for the position is flexible. Salary is dependent on experience and based on MPI stipends or equivalent salary according to German public service regulations. The following documents should be included in the application (in one PDF-file): • cover letter describing your personal qualifications and future research interests • curriculum vitae • contact details of two personal references Applications with the subject heading ‘HC14PhD’ should be sent via email to: personal(a)cbs.mpg.de. The deadline for application submission is May 20th 2014. The MPI-CBS is an equal opportunity employer, committed to the advancement of individuals without regard to ethnicity, religion, gender, or disability.

Asian Faces Needed

by JONES J. (641124)

To whom it may concern, I am an undergraduate student of Swansea University conducting research into the other-race phenomenon and I am in need of Asian faces (any gender or age, preferably front facing neutral expression). Would you be able to provide any such faces? or direct me as to where I could obtain such data from? Many Thanks, Jezel Jones Swansea University

sorry, I have to ask, since you say the FaceReader is the "world's first tool capable of automatically analyzing facial expressions - when was FaceReader developed? CERT (Computer Expression Recognition Toolbox) has been around for years, and is being commercially developed now by Emotient. This is Marni Bartlett, Javier Movellan, and Gwen Littlewort's project. g.

New face database

by Peter Hancock

Announcing the Stirling/ESRC 3D face database. This new database aims to provide the richest possible set of imagery of the individuals depicted: 3D face scans, stereo images and video, many different photographs with varying viewpoints, lighting and distances and both high and low quality video clips. There are posed expressions, in 2D and 3D; we also have attempted to induce natural expressions, though we are still editing those videos. We also have tools, developed by Bernie Tiddeman at Aberystwyth, for manipulating images in both 2D and 3D. The aim is to help people make the transition to 3D imagery and generally facilitate research, but among other things hopefully put an end to the lamentable practice of studying 'face' recognition, when using the same image at study and test. A strong requirement of using the database is that if you add value to any of the images, e.g. by cropping them, getting ratings or marking them up for morphing, you offer them back to the database. In that way the database should grow as a resource for the community, as we also continue to add images, including some of the same people months later. I'm still adding things, so there is much more to come, but there's enough to be worth announcing. It's hosted at the PICS database, http://pics.stir.ac.uk; the direct link is http://pics.stir.ac.uk/ESRC/ Hope it's useful.

So, when you say "recognize" Jim, what do you mean? In a face memory test? I.e., can I give the subject 1000 faces and then have him or her recognize them? Or do you mean, how many faces would I find familiar in real life? (and be correct about it?) I think these are very different questions, and the latter one would be really hard to quantify. g.

Not identify by name, but recognize. Bahrick's work examines the durability of face memories over time, but I'm more interested in an estimate of the sheer number. A cold beverage of your choice to the person that can help. Thanks. > > Jim Tanaka > > > > >
