Dear all, does anyone of you know a stimulus database where i could get a larger number (in the range of dozens) morphed MONKEY (Macaca mullata is the best) face-pairs?
thanks a lot

Hi everyone,
I am conducting a study on gaze direction and I need full front and 3/4 profile pictures of cars (control stimuli).
Does anybody know where I can find such stimuli ?
Thanks for your help

Subject: NCPW13 announcement
Dear colleague,
We cordially invite you to participate in the Thirtienth Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop (NCPW13) to be held in San Sebastian (Spain) from July 12-14, 2012: http://www.bcbl.eu/events/ncpw13
This well-established and lively workshop aims at bringing together researchers from different disciplines such as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, neurobiology, philosophy and psychology to discuss their work on models of cognitive processes. Previous themes have encompassed categorisation, language, memory, development, action. There will be no specific theme, but papers must be about emergent models -- frequently, but not necessarily -- of the connectionist/neural network kind, applied to cognition. These workshops have always been characterised by their limited size, high quality papers, the absence of parallel talk sessions, and a schedule that is explicitly designed to encourage interaction among the researchers present in an informal setting.
Furthermore, this workshop will feature a unique set of invited speakers:
* Mark Seidenberg. University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.
* Jeffrey Elman. University of California, San Diego. USA.
* Randall C. O'Reilly. University of Colorado. USA.
* Kim Plunkett. University of Oxford, UK.
Important dates to remember:
Abstract deadline: March 31st, 2012
Notification of abstract acceptance: May 1st, 2012
Early registration deadline: June 1st, 2012
Online registration deadline: July 1st, 2012
Conference dates: July 12 - 14, 2012
Looking forward to your participation,
Julien Mayor

This came from Visionlist, but for anyone who is not on that list I thought
this might be useful information.

A new image database--UB KinFace Database--is currently online available.
http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~yunfu/research/Kinface/Kinface.htm
<http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/%7Eyunfu/research/Kinface/Kinface.htm>
UB KinFace database is used to develop, test, and evaluate kinship
verification and recognition algorithms. It comprises 600 images of 400
people which can be separated into 200 groups. Each group is composed of
child, young parent and old parent images. Most of images in the
database are real-world collections of public figures (celebrities and
politicians) from Internet.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some Mooney Face stimuli to use in an experiment.
If anyone has any that I might be able to use, or could perhaps point me in the right direction, I would be extremely grateful.
Many thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
Happy new year!
Hard times lead me to kick off the new year with a bit of shameful
self-promotion of a new book that may be of interest to some of you:
Bruce, V. and Young, A. Face perception. Hove: Psychology Press, 2012,
496 pages, ISBN 978-1-84169-878-6.
Further details and a sample chapter are available via the publisher's web
site:
http://www.cognitivepsychologyarena.com/face-perception-9781841698786
It can be ordered via the publisher or on Amazon.
We originally intended this as an update of our previous book (Bruce and
Young, 1998, In the eye of the beholder, OUP), but the literature has
moved on so much that in the end we were only able to retain a chunk of
chapter 1 and some other bits and pieces - the rest is mostly new.
We have tried to take a broad perspective on face perception and range
fairly widely in terms of sources of evidence. However, there is now such
a wealth of studies that many had to be left out. I can only apologise to
those whose work may not have received the amount of coverage it deserved.
A number of difficult choices had to be made.
Cheers,
Andy Young.
Hi all,
On behalf of Susann Fiedler (apologies for cross-posting):
Dear fellow psychologists,
To maintain high scientific standards in our field, it is extremely
important that we regularly take a step back and assess the research,
data analysis, reporting, and publication practices that represent the
current standards in psychology. You may be aware of the debate going on
in the psychological community regarding a recent article that addressed
the question of whether current practices should be revised (Simmons et
al., 2011, Psychological Science). The article has led to diverse
reactions among psychologists; and there is much speculation concerning
the popular opinion of "psychologists as a whole" towards the
recommendations put forth by the article.
In cooperation with the Open Science Framework
(http://openscienceframework.org/), we are conducting a worldwide survey
of psychologists to determine the extent to which the recommendations in
the above mentioned article are supported by the psychological
community. Everyone's opinion is important; and it is not necessary that
you have read the article in order to participate.
Share your opinion about psychological research practices and the
quality of publications in psychological journals by participating in
this short survey!
The survey takes approximately 10 minutes and is completely anonymous.
Participants may also enter into a raffle to win one of three 50$ Amazon
gift certificates.
Link to survey: http://ww3.unipark.de/uc/extern/9afd/
Please forward this e-mail to your colleagues.
Sincerely,
Susann Fiedler
