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

The seminar will be held in the School of Psychology, Newcastle University. 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 promises to be equally engaging and i being held at the Institute of Education on 11th January 2013. The seminar I am email about is the third and final in the series.

famous faces showing emotion
by Karri Gillespie 15 Sep '12

15 Sep '12

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. -- The University of Stirling is ranked in the top 50 in the world in The Times Higher Education 100 Under 50 table, which ranks the world's best 100 universities under 50 years old.
