Subject: RE: request for stimuli which differ by one feature only
Dear Aisling,
I'll have to check with my colleagues first, but we have some stimuli which you could use. (On a side note for all, we will soon be making a face stimuli database available which consists of 12 Caucasian males, each photographed professionally under 6 different angle (0, 10, 20 ,30, 40 ,50 degrees) each under 6 different expressions (neutral, happy, sad, angry, surprise, fear, disgust).)
However, just to give you a heads up (and to potentially save you some time and effort!), we have just done that experiment and have just submitted it for publication.
The study is a same/different matching task where one of the following changes occurs:
- whole face
- top half of the face
- bottom half of the face
- eyes only
- mouth only
- nose only
As you would expect, we find that for both reaction times and percent correct, subjects find the images harder to discriminate exactly in the order above (ie. faster and more efficient at detecting changes to the eyes than to the mouth).
I would be happy to send you our paper once it has been accepted (hopefully!). Let me know if you would still find the stimuli set helpful.
All the best,
Jodie

Dear all
I am looking to set up a same/different face recognition task asking my participants to decide if pairs of faces are identical or if they differ by one feature (ie, all elements of the two faces are identical except the mouth). Does anybody have a set of face stimuli which has pairs of faces differing by only one feature (ie different eyes with all other features identical or different noses with all other features identical)?
Thank you very much for your help

"WHAT'S IN A FACE?"
ECCV 2012 WORKSHOP
12 OCTOBER 2012
https://sites.google.com/site/wiaf2012/
================================================================
The “What’s in a Face?” workshop aims to provide a forum for
interdisciplinary exchange on the topic of human face. The
interdisciplinary aspect will promote a lively exchange of ideas between
researchers in computer vision, biometrics, cognitive psychology and
forensics. This exchange will be facilitated by invited talks from
leading researchers in these disciplines. Additionally, a panel session
will be conducted to bring to the fore new perspectives and promote
active collaboration between these disciplines.
Computer vision sees the human face as a natural object and aims to
perform the tasks of detection, tracking, coding and matching from
images and videos. The task of facial recognition, for the purpose of
establishing human identity, is the central focus in biometrics, where
face images have also been used to deduce soft biometric attributes such
as an individual’s age, gender and ethnicity. In forensics, local facial
features such as moles, scars, tattoos and wrinkles have been used to
validate identity in one-to-one matching cases involving photos. In
speech forensics, face videos have been used in conjunction with audio
streams to enhance the reliability of speech recognition through the use
of audio-visual cues. Real-time face tracking, coupled with the use of
soft biometric features, has allowed for new applications, such as
continuous user monitoring and authentication in work environments. In
cognitive vision and social psychology, videos and images of faces have
been analyzed to infer an individual’s emotional state or to detect
interpersonal deception. The neuropsychological processes pertaining to
how humans recognize faces has also been actively studied over several
decades. From a medical perspective, face images may also offer
information about an individual’s health. More recently, facial images
have been used to study familial relationships.
The above observations lead to the tantalizing question: “What’s in a
Face?”
We invite high quality contributions on the following topics:
- Novel 2D and 4D face recognition algorithms
- Neuropsychology of face recognition in humans
- Face understanding in social/cognitive psychology
- Face behaviometrics
- Age, gender and race prediction from faces
- Emotion and deception detection from faces
- Familial relationships from face images
- Facial forensics based on scars, moles, tattoos
- Facial micro-expressions
- Detection of social intent from faces
- Recognition of attentional focus

Does anyone have/know of a set of faces that have been rated for power/dominance? A colleague of mine has been trying to locate some for a while but not had any luck.
Thanks for any help,

Hello,
Does anyone have a composite face test? I’m assessing a group of
prosopagnosic patients and would like to assess holistic processing. If
anyone has a composite face test that they would allow me to use I would be
very grateful.
Many thanks,
Joe

Does anyone have images of (biologically-related) brothers, and photos of sisters, in the age-range of 18-25 at the time that the photos were taken? (Colour or black and white are both fine; preferably full face or near-full face.). We're doing an experiment on kin recognition and can't find enough siblings!
Thanks in anticipation,
Dr. Graham Hole,
School of Psychology,
University of Sussex.
Post-doctoral Researcher Position at OSU
We are looking for a post-doc to work in the area of computational modeling of face perception and/or computational neuroscience. A strong background in vision, cognitive science (or cognitive neuroscience) and statistics is required. We will consider PhDs from cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience and computer vision and machine learning. The ideal candidate has previous publications in the top journals and conferences in the area.
Please contact Prof. Aleix Martinez (aleix(a)ece.osu.edu) with the subject line: Post-doctoral Research Position.
Hello
I used these stimuli in a past study and scanned them for this purpose.
I will send them to you via e-mail
Yours
