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.

question on validation

by Lőrincz András

Dear List Members: I am wondering how to validate general facial expressions. I see a single method: Estimate the amplitude of action units *AND* get a FACS expert who validates the data (and does not mind emotions at all) Do you have any other idea? - Are you aware of any kind of database where people respond naturally to images or sounds and they also talk about their mixed feelings? - Is there any kind of image database on facial expressions with regard to a standard emotional database, like IAPS? - Is there any general measure, such as co-measured signals (like video, fMRI, PET, EEG and gaze estimation) together with the data that was used to evoke emotions in the study and can be used for validation? I am very much looking forward to your responses. Best wishes, Andras _________________________ Andras Lorincz ECCAI Fellow http://nipg.inf.elte.hu http://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.andras.lorincz Department of Software Technology and Methodology Eotvos Lorand University Budapest, Hungary

introduction

by Gary Cottrell

Hi - I thought I would introduce myself to the list. I'm Gary Cottrell, and I've been building computational models (or my students have!) of visual processing for slightly over 20 years. My lab is interested in how the brain processes visual information from a number of perspectives - how do we recognize facial expressions, how do we recognize faces & objects, how do we decide where to look, how to we integrate information over fixations, what is the source of hemispheric asymmetries, what is the cause of search asymmetries? We've also investigated how hierarchical visual representations can be formed through unsupervised learning. I have a bad habit of publishing things in the cog sci conference and then not sending that to a journal, so some of my work is obscure, but it is all on my web page. I'm also a member of the Perceptual Expertise Network, where I've mostly been interested in computational explanations of what I call the Visual Expertise Mystery, which is why would an area (the FFA) that presumably starts out as a face area become recruited for other areas of expertise? While a fair number of the readers of this list probably believe that that question starts from a false presupposition, we have a good computational answer, if you allow it the question! ;-) I hope to see many of you at VSS! cheers, gary Gary Cottrell 858-534-6640 FAX: 858-534-7029 Computer Science and Engineering 0404 IF USING FED EX INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING LINE: CSE Building, Room 4130 University of California San Diego - 9500 Gilman Drive # 0404 La Jolla, Ca. 92093-0404 "A grapefruit is a lemon that saw an opportunity and took advantage of it." - note written on a door in amsterdam on Lybaangracht strasse.
