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! Caspar

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 ________________________________________ From: face-research-list-bounces(a)lists.stir.ac.uk [face-research-list-bounces(a)lists.stir.ac.uk] On Behalf Of face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk [face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk] Sent: 25 May 2014 12:00 To: face-research-list Mailing List Subject: Face-research-list Digest, Vol 40, Issue 4 Send Face-research-list mailing list submissions to face-research-list(a)lists.stir.ac.uk To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.stir.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/face-research-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to face-research-list-request(a)lists.stir.ac.uk You can reach the person managing the list at face-research-list-owner(a)lists.stir.ac.uk When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Face-research-list digest..."

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

Online psychomorph

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. Cheers, Lisa (lisa.debruine(a)glasgow.ac.uk)

Info morphing software
by Montagna, Anita 23 May '14

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

Postdoctoral position in face perception
by Richard Russell 14 May '14

14 May '14

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>.

PhD position
by Katharina von Kriegstein 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

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.
