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

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

morphing facial movements
by Ferenc Kocsor 02 Jun '13

02 Jun '13

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 Ferenc Kocsor, MSc research assistant Institute of Psychology University of Pécs, Hungary www.evolutionpsychology.com

Re: [Face-research-list] Children's facial expressions
by Kirsten Dalrymple 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

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.

Children's facial expressions (Hight quality digital images, FACS coded)
by Chiara Fiorentini 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi, I am looking for a set of facial expressions of children for the 6 basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, anger and disgust). I am especially interested in images that are high-quality but also received validation for their ecological validity (e.g. would be useful if they are FACS coded and consistent with Ekman's specifications for facial movements occuring in these emotions). Any clues anybody? Many thanks, -- Chiara * "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." "Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value." * * -- Albert Einstein*

Three Research Fellowships in Aberdeen
by Burton, Mike 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Dear all - could I ask you to bring the enclosed job ad to the attention of any potential candidates. best, Mike Burton --- University of Aberdeen Three Research Fellowships in Psychology Applications are invited for three Research Fellowships in Psychology. The ERC-funded project, led by Professor Mike Burton, aims to understand aspects of face recognition in both theoretical and applied settings. One of these posts will involve computational and experimental research, and candidates should have a strong background in programming. The second post will be focussed primarily on laboratory experiments, while the third will focus on applied research in real-world settings. Candidates for all positions will need a good track-record in experimental research. The posts will be offered for a period of up to 4 years, and salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6 scale. For full details, and application procedure, see www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs<http://www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs> Closing date for applications is 6 May.
