As so many of you are doing web experiments or interested in web
experiments, I thought I'd share our recent paper comparing data from web
and lab samples for different measures including face and emotion
recognition:
Germine, L., Nakayama, K., Duchaine, B.C., Chabris, C.F., Chatterjee, G., &
Wilmer, J.B. (in press). Is the web as good as the lab? Comparable findings
from Web and lab in cognitive/perceptual experiments. *Psychonomic Bulletin
& Review.* <http://www.lauragermine.org/articles/germine_pbr2012.pdf>
Essentially we find comparable means, standard deviations, and internal
reliability for web and lab-based samples on these tests. We hope it'll be
a resource for other researchers who are thinking about using web-based
methods and those who want to address reviewer skepticism about web methods
for face recognition research.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Best,
Laura

Dear All,
I'm looking for a literature on social perception on ambiguous facial
expression. I have a feeling that there's not many on this – except
perception of displayed emotion and the influence of the context and
individual differences (e.g. anxiety). However, what I’m looking for
is how people interpreted the meaning of ambiguous emotional
expression during social interaction (e.g. what are displayer’s
intention or action request?).
Secondly, do you know any literature showing that negative/angry
display might be less readable than positive displays in terms of
displayer’s intention and action request? There’s a lot of literature
that show influence of culture/social norms on facial expression
during social interaction, e.g. western cultures are less likely to
show anger to strangers (cause it might be acknowledge as impolite).
So, during social interaction we should rather expect stranger to
smile than to frown. Consequently, if someone is smiling it is natural
that he/she’s trying to be nice, on the other hand if he/she’s
showing anger, there might be a lot of reasons for such a behavior
and his/her intention remain unclear… I don’t know whether you’d
support my way of thinking, but if you do, and additionally have some
research on this, please let me know! :-)
I’d appreciate your help!
Michal

Hi Gary,
There is quite a substantial literature on this.
Try a citation search on Justine Sergent's papers from the early 1980s, or
on papers by Joseph Hellige later that decade and from the 1990s. If you
Google 'joseph hellige spatial frequency' you can find the latter papers.
Googling 'spatial frequency hypothesis psychology' also brings up a range
of more recent contributions.
Just for the record, Young and Bion (1981) had nothing to do with spatial
frequencies. We did publish one relevant study (Newcombe, de Haan, Ross
and Young, Neuropsychologia, 1989, 27, 523-538), but it didn't involve
lateralised presentation.
Cheers,
Andy Young.

Hi folks -
I am looking for references hemispheric asymmetries in the spatial frequency processing of faces. I.e., what would be ideal would be experiments with brief presentations to a different hemi-fields of low or high-pass faces. I know about Sergent's 1985 paper and Young & Bion 1981. Things seem scarce after that.
thanks!

Hi,
I am Wen-Sheng Chu, an RA and grad student at Carnegie Mellon University.
I am working on facial expression analysis problems and want to explore
more about micro-expressions. I am wondering if anyone knows about
micro-expression datasets in the literature. It would be more preferable
if the dataset(s) is publicly available.
To the best of my knowledge, there are USF and Canal-9 that might be of
interest, according to the FG 2011
paper<http://www.cse.usf.edu/~mshreve/publications/FG11.pdf>
.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear all,
I wonder whether anyone has the two-tone (aka face vs face parts) face
detection stimuli, as in Garrido, Duchaine and Nakayama (2008) that we could
use here at Bournemouth University?
Many thanks

Hi all,
We have a 3 year faculty position available at ANU. I think the
department will consider a very broad range of research areas as
suitable, and personally I would be extremely happy to have a face
person join us : )
Also note the Head says he is flexible about the (very tight) closing
date -- if you want to apply but won't make the official deadline,
then please send me a quick line so we know to wait for your
application.
Best,

The post will also be responsible for the volunteer recruitment. The research is in collaborationwith the Autism Research Centre, Cambridge.
You will have a degree in psychology, neuroscience or a related discipline, with a strong interest in studying face perception and social cognition in individuals with autism. Experience in scientific research, particularly with human volunteers, is important, and experience of runningexperiments involving individuals with ASC would also be an advantage. Good communication and teamworking skills are essential and familiarity with experimental presentation and statistical software packages (e.g., SPSS) would be useful. You should also be prepared to work out-of-hours occasionally.
The starting salary will be in the range of £20,074 - £23,056 per annum, depending upon qualifications and experience. We offer a flexible pay and reward policy, 30 days annual leave entitlement, and an optional MRC final salary Pension Scheme. On site car and bicycle parking is available.
