Dear all,
A conference entitled *"30 YEARS OF RESEARCH ON FACES" *will be organized
on September the 25-26, 2012 in Dijon (France).
The purpose of this conference is to provide up-to-date analyzes from the *last
three decades of research on human face processing*.
It will consist in four half-day sessions, respectively devoted to
cognitive, developmental, neurophysiological, and neuropsychological
approaches.
Each session will start with a 1-hour key-note lecture describing the
progress of knowledge up to current issues and concerns; then two 45-minute
presentations will focus on more specific and hot areas of enquiry on human
face processing.
*Here the link to the website:
https://sites.google.com/site/30yearsofresearchonfaces/
Registration and payment will be open very soon.*
Hope to see you in Dijon !
Best Regards
Dr. Jean-Yves Baudouin and Dr. Ornella Godard

Hello everyone,
Hope you are all well. I am emailing to ask if anyone has or is aware of a face database which contains famous faces showing a variety of emotions that I would be allowed to use. I am aware of such a famous face database (for example, Lander & Bruce 2004; Lander & Chuang 2004; Lander & Metcalfe 2007) but I am unsure if this database is accessible to others and if the authors allow this. It doesn't matter if the images are coloured or black/white. It is just for undergraduate dissertations however I will ensure the proper referencing of any databases are of course included. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I look forward to any replies.
Kind Regards,
Karri Gillespie-Smith.

MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit – Cambridge
Investigator Scientist
The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBSU) is an internationally renowned research institute with state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience facilities.
Applications are invited for a 9 month investigator scientist position to support a programme addressing the cognitive and neural bases of processing faces and other social cues intypical participants and individuals with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC). The research is in collaboration with the Autism Research Centre, Cambridge and is part of Dr Andy Calder's research programme. The position provides backfill for two investigator scientists whose time is engaged by separate projects.
Applicants should have a PhD in psychology, neuroscience or a related discipline (or will have submitted your PhD recently), and a strong interest in studying face perception and social cognition. Experience in the acquisition of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and its analysis with thestatistical parametric mapping software (SPM) is important. Good communication and teamworking skills and familiarity with experimental presentation and statistical software packages (e.g., SPSS) are also essential. Experience of running experimentsinvolving individuals with ASC would be an advantage. Applicants should also be prepared to work out-of-hours occasionally.
The starting salary will be in the range of £26,022 - £28,178 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.

Dear all,
I am currently advertising for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join my lab at Bournemouth University (UK) for an initial period of 12 months. The successful applicant will be contributing to the lab's core research programme investigating the cognitive and neural basis of developmental prosopagnosia. In addition, the post-holder will carry out some pilot work examining face processing skills in dementia. Please see the full advert using the link below, or contact me for more information (sbate(a)bournemouth.ac.uk<mailto:sbate@bournemouth.ac.uk>).

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.
