Looking for Asian neutral faces stimuli set

by Christy Reece

Hello, I'm a psychology research Masters student and I'm looking at in-group/out-group ratings of faces, which I intend to manipulate through priming. The group is determined by ethnicity and I will be asking ethnically Chinese individuals to participate. I have a set of neutral Chinese faces and I am now looking for a second set of neutral Asian faces that I can use for comparison. The second set of faces must be clearly distinct from the Chinese faces, so my current preference would be for a set of Indian stimuli, however I am open to using any Asian stimuli set other than faces that are ethnically Japanese since the face structure is too similar to Chinese. I would really appreciate some help getting this second set of stimuli. If anyone one has a stimuli set or knows of one referenced in an article can you please let me know? Full credit will of course be given to the creator of the stimuli set. Thanks and Regards, Christy -- Christy Reece Research Assistant National University of Singapore Department of Psychology AS5-04-21 ph: 8246 0526

Prosopagnosia papers

by creusot

Hi, Im a PhD student in computer science working on 3D face landmarking and recognition. I am looking for scientific articles on prosopagnosia and on the difference between face recognition and object recognition in the brain. This is probably the right mailing-list to ask. What I am looking for is review articles about research on prosopagnosia so that I can redirect my readers (if they are interested) to the whole corpus of literature by citing one or two articles. As it is not my field it is difficult for me to distinguish between the good and less good papers on that subject. I'm sure your expertise can help. Please contact me if you have some articles to suggest. Best regards, Clement Creusot.

PICS database update

by Peter Hancock

Dear all, I've been doing a bit of work on the PICS database, http://pics.stir.ac.uk. I've added some more face sets and hope to have some 3d images available by the end of the summer. I'll also add to the 'other databases' list, especially if you tell me about yours! Now, I'm sure many of you have collections of faces that would be of great benefit to the community but are hidden away. So, if you have images that you could make available but haven't got round to, now is the time to zip them up and I'll put them on the server here, with due acknowledgement. I haven't yet sorted downloading with permission only, but hope to do so. Therefore, if you have images that you are prepared to make available only to vetted researchers, let me know and we'll see what can be done.

WANTED: Pictures of facial expressions in younger children

by Andreas Johnen

Hi all, first of all a short introduction since this is my first post in this list. My name is Andreas Johnen and I work as a research assistant (PhD Student) at the Institute for Forensic Psychiatry at the LVR Clinics in Essen / Germany. We are currently planning an fMRI study on the neural basis of implicit emotional processing in forensic patients. Ultimately we want to study emotional empathy in delinquents and especially in convicted child molesters but a paradigm with facial expressions seems like a good start to research group differences in neural emotion processing. Thus, especially emotional processing of children's facial expressions is of interest to us. For this aim we are looking for a database (or anything really) that provides facial expressions (preferably the 5 basic emotions, but at least neutral, happy, sad) of children, preferably prepubescent children (age 9-14). The Radboud Face Database provides 9 children models, however these models appear to be either post-pubescent or in puberty. Since I already searched Databases around the web and also in publications unsuccesfully, anything can be helpful. If anyone knows somebody who has studied children's faces and facial expressions in children, differences between processing of children and adult faces, or if you can give me any hint on where to look for or who to contact it is much appreciated. Besides that, if anyone is interested in our research, please feel free to contact me for more information, possible cooperations or just simply out of interest. Thanks in advance for your input and best regards, -Andy -- Dipl. Psych.

New Face Research MSc

by Peter Hancock

Dear all, I'd like to announce a new Masters program at Stirling: Research Methods in Psychology of Faces. This is a one year MSc forming a specialised stream of our existing Psychological Research Methods course. It will cover most aspects of the psychology of faces, from low level visual processing to expression and gaze perception, social cognition, facial composite systems, face recognition and matching. Students will be expected to take part in face group research meetings and will have opportunities to use the laboratory equipment which includes an eye-tracker and a 3D face camera. The course also covers more general aspects of psychology research: advanced statistics, research methods and key skills, together with a placement in a research laboratory. http://www.stir.ac.uk/postgraduate/programme-information/prospectus/psychol… Please forward this to any potentially interested students Peter Hancock Professor Psychology, School of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://www.psychology.stir.ac.uk/staff/phancock -- The Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year 2009/2010 The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.
