One day workshop: Visual attention and eye movements in developmental disorders On Wednesday 20th March 2013 there will be a one day workshop which will discuss issues related to the study of visual attention and gaze behaviour in neurodevelopmental disorders. The seminar will be hosted by the School of Psychology, Newcastle University. PROGRAMME NOW AVAILABLE: The programme is now available online http://www.neurodevelopmentaldisorders-seminarseries.co.uk/index.php/semina… REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN: To register for this seminar please follow the link http://neurodevelopment3.eventbrite.com/ TO SUBMIT A POSTER ABSTRACT: To submit an abstract for a poster on any area of developmental disorders please email your abstract to info(a)neurodevelopmentaldisorders-seminarseries.co.uk<mailto:info@neurodevelopmentaldisorders-seminarseries.co.uk>. Abstracts should be no more than 300 words and please provide all details of authors and affiliations. The closing date for poster abstract submission is Friday 8th February 2013. This workshop is part of a seminar series entitled 'Neuro-developmental disorders: Exploring sensitive methods of assessment across development' which explores recent findings in neurodevelopmental disorders, with a particular focus on 1) the new research tools and methods used, 2) discussion of the wider applicability of these new tools and methods across different neurodevelopmental disorders, 3) identifying future challenges or controversies when studying neurodevelopmental disorders using a developmental approach. The seminar series hopes to bring together specialists and established researchers as well as post-graduates, post-doctoral researchers and early career researchers in neurodevelopmental disorders. The first workshop of the series, held in June 2012 at Kingston University, was very successful in meeting our aims. We enjoyed an exciting day of talks, which generated some very interesting discussion. The second workshop on 11th January 2013 has been a complete sell out and promises to be equally engaging. The series is sponsored by the British Psychological Society and the Williams syndrome Foundation UK and is being organised by Dr Jo van Herwegen, Dr Emily Farran and Dr Debbie Riby.

Video stimuli for expression and gender discrimination tasks
by Hayley Darke 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Dear all, I am looking for video or 3D animation of facial expressions that can be manipulated to subtly alter the gender and identity of each face. The idea is that we wish to run an expression discrimination task and a gender discrimination task using the same or similar video stimuli. Alternatively, does anyone know of a video database that was designed for this sort of comparison? e.g..: expression sequences with faces morphed to produce 100% male, 25% male, etc. This may be a long shot, but if anyone has any suggestions I would be extremely grateful. Thank you in advance, Hayley Hayley Darke MPsych/PhD candidate Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences University of Melbourne Victoria, AUSTRALIA, 3010 Email: h.darke(a)student.unimelb.edu.au
