Stimulsu request

by Gavin Perry

Dear all, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with some stimuli I'm looking for. I'm after a morph continuum of faces from an average female to an average male face, so that i can present faces with varying degres of male/female-ness. Does anyone have such a set that they are willing to share, or know of a set that is publicly available? Thanks in advance, Dr Gavin Perry CUBRIC School of Psychology Cardiff University 60 Park Place Cardiff CF10 3AT

Paper and thesis on orientation and face perception

by James A. Bednar

I am very pleased to announce the publication of the following paper in Vision Research: Chen Zhao, Peggy Seriès, Peter J. B. Hancock, and James A. Bednar. Similar neural adaptation mechanisms underlying face gender and tilt aftereffects. Vision Research, 51(18):2021-2030, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2011.07.014 This paper may be of interest to both computational and psychophysical researchers, because it shows how computational models developed for low-level vision (oriented lines) can help explain higher visual function (face gender perception). Specifically, we found that models based on the primary visual cortex successfully predicted previously unknown and important aspects of face gender perception. These results support the idea that higher vision uses similar mechanisms as early vision, and are in conflict with prevailing theories of face perception that rely on norm-based encoding. Additional details and related models are available in Roger's recently completed PhD: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/jbednar/papers/zhao.phd11.pdf We are very interested in hearing feedback about this work, particularly from those working on norm-based theories of higher visual perception.

The Cambridge Car Memory Test

by Hugh Dennett

Hi all, Given that the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT) has been very widely used, I thought some of you may be interested to know that we have just published a paper with young adult norms for a new non-face object memory test (the CCMT) with the same format as the CFMT. As with the CFMT, the CCMT has a range suitable for investigating individual differences in the normal adult population. You can access the paper at: http://www.springerlink.com/content/c36317587643qt37/ I have also included the abstract below. Regards, Hugh Dennett -- The Cambridge Car Memory Test: A task matched in format to the Cambridge Face Memory Test, with norms, reliability, sex differences, dissociations from face memory, and expertise effects Hugh W. Dennett, Elinor McKone, Raka Tavashmi, Ashleigh Hall, Madeleine Pidcock, Mark Edwards and Bradley Duchaine Behavior Research Methods DOI: 10.3758/s13428-011-0160-2 Many research questions require a within-class object recognition task matched for general cognitive requirements with a face recognition task. If the object task also has high internal reliability, it can improve accuracy and power in group analyses (e.g., mean inversion effects for faces vs. objects), individual-difference studies (e.g., correlations between certain perceptual abilities and face/object recognition), and case studies in neuropsychology (e.g., whether a prosopagnosic shows a face-specific or object-general deficit). Here, we present such a task. Our Cambridge Car Memory Test (CCMT) was matched in format to the established Cambridge Face Memory Test, requiring recognition of exemplars across view and lighting change. We tested 153 young adults (93 female). Results showed high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = .84) and a range of scores suitable both for normal-range individual-difference studies and, potentially, for diagnosis of impairment. The mean for males was much higher than the mean for females. We demonstrate independence between face memory and car memory (dissociation based on sex, plus a modest correlation between the two), including where participants have high relative expertise with cars. We also show that expertise with real car makes and models of the era used in the test significantly predicts CCMT performance. Surprisingly, however, regression analyses imply that there is an effect of sex per se on the CCMT that is not attributable to a stereotypical male advantage in car expertise. -- Hugh Dennett Ph.D. Candidate Department of Psychology The Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200 E: hugh.dennett(a)anu.edu.au T: +61 2 6125 2716 W: http://psychology.anu.edu.au/_people/people_details.asp?recId=177

face space

by Gyula Kovacs

Dear Colleagues, I am wondering if there is anywhere on the internet a freely accessible tool with which one could create a "face-space" a-la Leopold et al, (2001), e.g. as a Matlab toolbox or any other way. What i would need is something into which i can put a given number of faces and it creates the space with its anti-face versions etc. Thanks in advance for any information. -- Gyula Kovacs Dept.Cognitive Sciences Budapest Univ.

Oxford Handbook of Face Perception

by Andy Young

Hi all, I just received my copy of the recently published 'Oxford Handbook of Face Perception', edited by Andy Calder, Gill Rhodes, Mark Johnson and Jim Haxby (OUP, 2011). See http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199559053.do Here's what the publishers say about it: 'The Oxford Handbook of Face Perception is the most comprehensive and commanding review of the field ever published. It looks at the functional and neural mechanisms underlying the perception, representation, and interpretation of facial characteristics, such as identity, expression, eye gaze, attractiveness, personality, and race. It examines the development of these processes, their neural correlates in both human and non-human primates, congenital and acquired disorders resulting from their breakdown, and the theoretical and computational frameworks for their underlying mechanisms. With chapters by an international team of leading authorities from the brain sciences, the book is a landmark publication on face perception.' Unusually, most of the hyperbole is valid. This is a book that many of us will be wanting to dip into for the background to aspects of face perception we don't know so well, or just to get someone else's take on our own pet topic. It's not cheap, of course, but you can try to get your library to buy it. Definitely worth checking out, anyway. Cheers, Andy Young.
