Movember

by Cooper, Robbie

Hello fellow face fanciers, I reach your inbox with an unashamed moment of self-promotion in the name of a good cause. Some of you may be aware that in the last few years November has become a time where men, previously frightened of the power of a fine moustache (mustache if you are 'stateside'), attempt to cultivate something on their top lip in order to raise awareness of cancers that are specific to men (e.g. prostate cancer, testicular cancer). This has been dubbed 'Movember'. I give you here a link to my Movember site where you can find out more information and if you are feeling particularly generous you might even leave a donation for this worthy charity. http://mobro.co/RobbieCooper I have had my own battle with cancer in the last few months and I urge you to arm yourselves with knowledge.

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?

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

Postdoctoral Fellowship Available

by Cathy Mondloch

I would appreciate it very much if you could share this information with potential candidates. Thank you, Cathy Mondloch Brock University POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP Area: Face Perception A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Infant and Child Development Lab at Brock University to investigate face perception in participants between 3 and 80 years of age, under the supervision of Cathy Mondloch, PhD. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in perceptual/developmental psychology by the start date, have strong training in face perception, and a willingness to develop expertise with a range of new technologies. Funding is available for three years through an NSERC Discovery Accelerator Supplement Award given to Cathy Mondloch. The Infant and Child Development Lab is part of the Lifespan Development Center and the Center for Neuroscience at Brock University. Members of the lab investigate the development of expert face processing and the role of experience in driving that development. A recent grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation provided funding for several pieces of cutting-edge technology (a 3D camera, a 4D camera, two eye-trackers, Noldus Observer). The postdoctoral fellow will assume responsibility for integrating this technology into our research program, design and conduct new studies and join on-going projects. The successful applicant will be part of a collaborative team of postdocs, graduate students, undergraduate students and research assistants, with opportunities for interactions with a broad array of research teams in psychology, the Centre for Neuroscience, and the Lifespan Centre. Start Date: Winter/Spring 2012 Please submit a CV, cover letter with a statement of interest and research experience, and names and contact information of 3 referees to: Cathy Mondloch, Department of Psychology, Brock University, 500 Glenridge Avenue, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, L2S 3A1.

research fellowships in McKone face lab

by Elinor McKone

Hi everyone, There is an opportunity to apply for a 4 year research fellowship in my lab. It's through a government scheme called Future Fellowships (information at http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/futurefel/ future_default.htm), which is open to everyone between 5 and 15 years out of PhD regardless of nationality. The applications are due in November. Funding includes salary, plus $50k per year in research costs. Note the Australian dollar currently equals .98 US$, and .73 Euro. To be competitive, applicants will need a good track record of publications (e.g., I would guess a minimum of 12 papers in the last 5 years, 2007-2011/inpress; and generally in good journals). If you are interested, please contact me ASAP. See my website below for information on the lab. There is also a related fellowship program for early career researchers (0 to 5 years out from PhD), for which applications are likely to be due somewhere between Feb and May next year (2012). See: http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/decra.htm Please feel free to forward this email to others.

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.
