Dear face people,
I'm emailing because we have developed some new facial expression recognition tests that are suitable for measuring individual differences (i.e., valid, reliable, wide range of scores and no ceiling or floor effects). One test measures expression perception (an odd-man-out matching task in which participants select which one of three faces displays a different expression) and the other one additionally requires explicit identification of the emotion (a labelling task in which participants select one of six verbal labels).
The PLoS One paper that describes the development of the tests and associated supplementary material can be downloaded from: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0068126
Please feel free to email me if you'd like the tests or further information.
Best wishes,
Romina

PLoS ONE 8(6): e68126. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0068126
Abstract:
Although good tests are available for diagnosing clinical impairments in face expression processing, there is a lack of strong tests for assessing “individual differences” – that is, differences in ability between individuals within the typical, nonclinical, range. Here, we develop two new tests, one for expression perception (an odd-man-out matching task in which participants select which one of three faces displays a different expression) and one additionally requiring explicit identification of the emotion (a labelling task in which participants select one of six verbal labels). We demonstrate validity (careful check of individual items, large inversion effects, independence from nonverbal IQ, convergent validity with a previous labelling task), reliability (Cronbach’s alphas of.77 and.76 respectively), and wide individual differences across the typical population. We then demonstrate the usefulness of the tests by addressing theoretical questions regarding the structure of face processing, specifically the extent to which the following processes are common or distinct: (a) perceptual matching and explicit labelling of expression (modest correlation between matching and labelling supported partial independence); (b) judgement of expressions from faces and voices (results argued labelling tasks tap into a multi-modal system, while matching tasks tap distinct perceptual processes); and (c) expression and identity processing (results argued for a common first step of perceptual processing for expression and identity).

Dear All,
There is currently a PhD scholarship (AUD$30,000 per annum for 3.5 years)
available for a student to work with me, Dr Ans Vercammen and Professor
Peter Rendell on a project examining the development and decline of social
cognition and emotion processing. The successful applicant would be based
in Sydney at the Australian Catholic University's Strathfield campus. See
relevant links and more information below.
Could I please ask for your assistance in forwarding this email to anyone
who may be a suitable applicant, or who may know someone else who would be?
Many thanks,
Megan
*Project Title: *The Development and Decline of Social Cognition and
Emotion Processing
*Project Description:* This project will examine how the capacity to
recognise emotion in others, and the ability to use this information to
guide social behaviour develops in childhood and declines in older
adulthood. More specifically, this project will focus on investigating the
cognitive, neural and physiological mechanisms that underpin social
cognitive abilities and emotion processing. With a particular view to
understanding the way in which these capacities develop throughout
childhood and decline in older adulthood. The project will employ a range
of methodologies, including skin conductance responses (SCR), facial
electromyography (EMG) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

Dear colleagues,****
I am writing to inform you about an exciting initiative: APA PeePs
(*Particularly
Exciting Experiments in Psychology*), a collaboration between six of APA’s
experimental psychology journals! APA PeePs provides free highlights of
meaningful relationships between articles published in these journals,
including *JEP:LMC*, *JEP:HPP*,*JEP:GEN*, *JEP:ABP*, *Behavioral
Neuroscience*, and the *Journal of Comparative Psychology*.
The first PeeP will be distributed next Thursday (June 20), with 1-2 issues
per month.
I am very excited that APA would invest time and effort in a new model of
science outreach, but for this project to continue *we need your support*-
please take a second to subscribe to APA
PeePs<http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/phase2/survey1/survey.htm?cid=jzm…'>
and share this news with your colleagues. (Note that the link to confirm
subscription that you will receive by email redirects to the APA homepage,
and this should mean that you are confirmed).

Dear All,
I'm looking for a software with which I can register facial movements
shown in a short video (approx. 30 seconds), and morph these movements
on an other face (preferably composite). The point is that I'd like to
test subjects ratings of individual dynamic features (i.e., the
attractiveness of expressions during talk), without being influenced
by facial attractiveness.
My guess is that this software is something that uses Active
Appearence Model. Has anyone heard about such a tool?
thanks a lot

We're working on a database of children's faces (The Dartmouth Database of Children's Faces). It's not FACS coded, but contains images of 40 male and 40 female models between the ages of 6 and 16. Models are photographed on a black background and are wearing black bibs and black hats to cover hair and ears. They are photographed from 5 different camera angles and pose 8 different facial expressions. Models were rated by independent raters and are ranked for the overall believability of their poses.

Hi folks - sorry to bombard the board, but just to note that the latest post is actually not a repeat of yesterday's - despite the topic heading - it is for postgraduate studentships, also available on this project.
best,
Mike

Dear all - Please find an advert for PhD studentships in face recognition. I'd be grateful if you could bring this to the attention of any suitable candidates.

PhD studentships in Face Recognition (2)
Applications are invited for two PhD studentships starting in October 2013, to work with Professor Mike Burton. Candidates should hold, or expect to achieve a First or Upper Second class degree in Psychology, or a Masters degree in a related subject. The studentships are funded by the European Research Council, and funding will cover UK/EU fees and a stipend at research council rates.
To apply, please make a formal enquiry through the FindAPhD website: studentship1<http://www.findaphd.com/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=44784>, studentship2<http://www.findaphd.com/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=44785>. Informal enquiries prior to application may be made to Mike Burton: m.burton(a)abdn.ac.uk<mailto:m.burton@abdn.ac.uk><mailto:m.burton@abdn.ac.uk> or 01224 273930. The closing date is 17 May, 2013.
Further Information: These studentships will form part of a large-scale project on face recognition. We are very good at recognising the faces we know, but very poor when recognising or matching unfamiliar faces. This project represents an attempt to understand the cognitive and perceptual processes underlying the differences between familiar and unfamiliar face recognition. In particular, we will be studying the variability in different photos of the same face. One of the studentships will employ computational and statistical analysis of face images, and programming experience will be essential. The second studentship will focus on real-world face recognition, including forensic and security problems.
The University of Aberdeen is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC013683.
I'm not sure whether the set of ecologically valid stimuli and FACS-coded stimuli don't have a null intersection...
