Male chinese faces needed for a study

by Graham Hole

Hi, I need a set of young male (aged roughly 18-30) full-frontal Chinese faces, with a neutral expression, for an experiment on lineups. William Hayward has already kindly allowed me to use his database of Chinese faces, but I need more examples. Any faces that fit these specifications would be gratefully received! Thanks, Graham Hole, University of Sussex.

PhD studentship in Face Recognition. University of Aberdeen, School of Psychology Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to work with Professor Mike Burton. Candidates should hold a First or Upper Second class degree in Psychology, Computing Science, or a related subject. The studentship is funded by the European Research Council, and will cover three years’ fees and stipend for UK/EU students only. To apply, please send a CV and letter of application to Joanne Brebner, at the School of Psychology, University of Aberdeen, (j.brebner(a)abdn.ac.uk<mailto:j.brebner@abdn.ac.uk>).

Further Information: This studentship is part of a large-scale project on face recognition. We are studying the ways in which faces become familiar, specifically by examining the variability among different images of the same face. The student will work within a team employing both experimental and computer simulation techniques, and so some programming experience would be an advantage. The conditions of funding require that this studentship must start on or before 1 June 2014. The University of Aberdeen is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC013683.

Eye Tracking Survey

by Jessica Komes

Dear fellow face researchers, psychologists, neuroscientists, I forward this message on behalf of Nathaniel J.S. Ashby and Jacob L. Orquin (apologies for cross-posting). Please feel free to further foward this e-mail to your colleagues. Regards from Jena, Jessica Komes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are conducting a study on the current practice of data aggregation in eye tracking research with specific interest in the definition and use of areas of interest (AOI). A great deal of eye tracking research relies on AOI-based data aggregation, however, the method is under-researched and it is largely unknown how different ways of aggregating eye tracking data might influence your results; for instance, by inflating the false positive (negative) rate. In order to establish a best practice for the use of AOI’s we would highly appreciate your help in answering this short survey (please feel free to forward/post where relevant): https://essex.eu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0SQMUgwxkEQiWoZ The survey consists of 15 short questions and should take no longer than 5-10 minutes to complete. The survey is only relevant if you have used AOI’s to handle eye tracking data. If you have any questions or comments about the study or the results you are welcome to contact Nathaniel J.S. Ashby (nashby(a)essex.ac.uk) or Jacob L. Orquin (jalo(a)asb.dk). -- M.Sc. Psych.

Madeleine McCann facial composite appeal

by Peter Hancock

Dear Colleagues, please forgive a post which is not directly about research. The police in Britain have issued two facial composites of a man in the Madeleine McCann abduction case. However, they have not taken advantage of our research indicating a) that an average image of two composites of the same target may help and b) an animated caricature can also help identification. I've created average and animated caricature composites; please share this link in any way you can; the police need names. I confess I don't know how to contact them from outside the UK but hopefully people with information will find a way. Here's the link, with refs to the original research: http://psych-survey.stir.ac.uk/McCannComposites.html Thanks, Peter Peter Hancock Professor Psychology, School of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://www.psychology.stir.ac.uk/staff/phancock -- The University of Stirling has been ranked in the top 12 of UK universities for graduate employment*. 94% of our 2012 graduates were in work and/or further study within six months of graduation. *The Telegraph The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.
