CCTV and face stimuli set
by Anna Bobak 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

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? Many thanks, Anna Anna Bobak PhD Candidate in Psychology Bournemouth University School of Design, Engineering & Computing Talbot Campus, Fern Barrow Poole, BH12 5BB Email: abobak(a)bournemouth.ac.uk<mailto:abobak@bournemouth.ac.uk> Tel: 01202 965049 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

PhD Studentship at Aberdeen
by Burton, Mike 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

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 30 Jun '13

30 Jun '13

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

PhD Scholarship in Social Cognition and Emotion Processing
by Megan Willis 16 Jun '13

16 Jun '13

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). For more information: contact Dr Megan Willis (Megan.Willis(a)acu.edu.au) or go to http://www.acu.edu.au/research/future_research_students/scholarships/vice_c… *Dr Megan Willis* *Lecturer | School of Psychology* *Australian Catholic University* C1.40 Edward Clancy Building Mount St Mary Campus 25a Barker Road / Locked Bag 2002 Strathfield NSW 2135 *T:* +61 2 9701 4501 *F:* +61 2 9746 3059 *W: *www.acu.edu.au

subscribe to new APA PeePs service
by Jennifer Joanna Richler 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

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). Jenn Richler
