Research Fellow advert - please distribute

by Burton, Mike

University of Aberdeen, UK Research Fellow in Psychology Applications are invited for a Research Fellowship in Psychology. The project, led by Professor Mike Burton, aims to understand aspects of face recognition in both theoretical and applied settings. The Research Fellow will work on the computational modelling part of the project, primarily applying statistical operations (e.g. PCA) to graphical representations of faces. A strong background in programming is therefore required, preferably in Matlab. This post is funded by the ERC, and is offered until 31 May 2017. Salary range is Grade 6: £30,424 to £33,230 depending on experience. For full details, and application procedure, see www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs<http://www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs> Closing date for applications is 19 August. Informal enquiries may be made to Mike Burton (Tel. 01224 273930; email m.burton(a)abdn.ac.uk<mailto:m.burton@abdn.ac.uk>). The University of Aberdeen is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC013683.

CCTV and face stimuli set

by Anna Bobak

Dear all, I'm looking for CCTV clips and facial images of the actors, preferably from different angles. Is anyone aware of such stimuli set that isn't the FRL database from the Home Office?

PhD Studentship at Aberdeen

by Burton, Mike

Dear all - could I ask you to bring this studentship to the attention of likely candidates? Thanks in advance, Mike Burton ---- University of Aberdeen School of Psychology PhD studentship in Computational Aspects of Face Recognition Applications are invited for a PhD studentship starting in October 2013, 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 funding will cover UK/EU fees and a stipend at research council rates. 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). Informal enquiries prior to application may be made to Mike Burton: m.burton(a)abdn.ac.uk or 01224 273930. The closing date is 9 August, 2013. Further Information: This studentship is part of a large-scale project on face recognition. We will be studying the way in which faces become familiar, specifically by examining the variance among different images of the same face. The student will focus on computational modelling of the statistical properties of face images, and will work within a team employing both simulation and experimental methods. Programming experience is essential, and some experience in image processing would be an advantage. The University of Aberdeen is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC013683.

[Face-Research-List] New Tests to Measure Individual Differences in Matching and Labelling Facial Expressions of Emotion, and Their Association with Ability to Recognise Vocal Emotions and Facial Identity

by Romina Palermo

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 Citation: Palermo R, O’Connor KB, Davis JM, Irons J, McKone E (2013) New Tests to Measure Individual Differences in Matching and Labelling Facial Expressions of Emotion, and Their Association with Ability to Recognise Vocal Emotions and Facial Identity. 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). -- Romina Palermo, PhD Associate Professor, School of Psychology, University of Western Australia | ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders https://sites.google.com/site/drrominapalermo/ Follow the CCD Person Perception Node: https://twitter.com/PersonPercept
