(Ei/IEEE Xplore) CISP'11-BMEI'11 Extended Deadline 3 June, Shanghai, China

by Bing Li

Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the upcoming 4th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing (CISP 2011) and the 4th International Conference on BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI 2011), to be jointly held from 15-17 October 2011, in Shanghai, China. Due to numerous requests, the submission deadline is extended to 3 June 2011. Shanghai is the largest city in China, with famous historical and cultural heritage. Attractions include Yuyuan Garden ("Happy Garden" built in Ming Dynasty), Shanghai Museum with 120,000 pieces of rare relics, Shanghai World Financial Center, Jade Buddha Temple (Song Dynasty), Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Zhujiajiao Water Town, and Expo 2010 site. All papers in conference proceedings will be indexed by both EI Compendex and ISTP, as well as included in the IEEE Xplore (IEEE Conference Record Number for CISP'11: 18205; IEEE Conference Record Number for BMEI'11: 18206. CISP-BMEI 2008-2010 papers have already been indexed in EI Compendex). Substantially extended versions of best papers will be considered for publication in a CISP'11-BMEI'11 special issue of the Computers and Electrical Engineering journal (SCI-indexed). CISP-BMEI is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of multimedia, signal processing, biomedical engineering and informatics. The previous CISP-BMEI each attracted over 3000 submissions from all over the world, with acceptance rate around 50%. The registration fee of US$400 includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all technical sessions. CISP'11-BMEI'11 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. To promote international participation of researchers from outside the country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China’s mainland), researchers outside of China’s mainland are encouraged to propose invited sessions. The first author of each paper in an invited session must not be affiliated with an organization in China’s mainland. All papers in the invited sessions can be marked as "Invited Paper". The organizer(s) for each invited session with at least 6 registered papers will (jointly) enjoy an honorarium of US*D 400. Invited session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. Invited session organizers will be able to set their own submission and review schedules, as long as a set of recommended papers is determined by 31 May 2011. Each invited session proposal should include: (1) the name, bio, and contact information of each organizer of the invited session; (2) the title and a short synopsis of the invited session. Please send your proposal to CISP-BMEI(a)dhu.edu.cn For more information, visit the conference web page: http://cisp-bmei.dhu.edu.cn If you have any questions after visiting the conference web page, please email the secretariat at CISP-BMEI(a)dhu.edu.cn Join us at this major event in exciting Shanghai !!!

Post-Doc at the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, Carnegie Mellon

by Michael J. Tarr

Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition / Psychology Carnegie Mellon University Postdoctoral Position: Encoding of Objects and Faces in Human IT Supervisor: Michael Tarr Soliciting applications - to be considered on a rolling basis - for a postdoctoral researcher working with Michael Tarr at Carnegie Mellon in beautiful Pittsburgh PA, USA. The goal of this project is to collaborate with lab members on studies using non-invasive neuroimaging (fMRI, DSI, MEG) to explore how objects and faces are encoded within the human ventral pathway. A successful candidate should have experience in the design and analysis of neuroimaging experiments - particularly fMRI - as well as some experience using computational tools for both data analysis (e.g., linear classifiers) and modeling/simulation. More on Carnegie Mellon and the CNBC. We have particular interests in face, object, scene, and event recognition and the role of experience in shaping our perceptual systems. Methodologies we use include neuroimaging (ERPs, MEG, fMRI, and DSI/HDFT), the study of atypical populations (neuropsychological case studies, autism, and dyslexia), neurophysiology, eyetracking, behavioral psychophysics combined with advanced stimulus generation and manipulation, computational modeling, and machine learning for data understanding, all applied across the lifespan (infancy through older adulthood). Core faculty span the departments of Psychology, Statistics, Biological Sciences, Machine Learning, and Robotics, as well as the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. Our facilities include a new campus-based 3T Siemens Verio MRI scanner, a MEG facility, and a new high-performance computing cluster for modeling, simulation, and data analysis. More on Pittsburgh. The academic community in Pittsburgh is uniquely interdisciplinary and collaborative. Through the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition and our physical proximity to Pitt, we have strong ties to the University of Pittsburgh Center for Neuroscience, Psychology, and medical school. Within CMU trainees often work across units, pursuing multidisciplinary research. The city of Pittsburgh is also a highly supportive and vibrant community. Over the past two decades, Pittsburgh, one of the greenest cities in America, has reinvented itself as an educational and medical hub, but has retained much of the infrastructure from its industrial past, including a wide variety of museums, a world-class symphony, professional sports teams, and an extensive urban park system. With Pittsburgh's renaissance the city has grown to include an eclectic restaurant scene and a variety of funky neighborhoods. CMU's strength in the fine arts has also fostered an active arts scene, including many theaters, film festivals, music venues, and galleries. Reflecting this, in May of 2010 Pittsburgh was on ranked as the most livable city in America by Forbes magazine. The position is for one year, and renewable for one additional year based on first year evaluation. Salary will be based on NIH postdoctoral scales. Applicants should send a cover letter (with potential starting date), a CV, a research statement, and the names of at least three references to info(a)tarrlab.org <mailto:info@tarrlab.org>

Re: [Face-research-list] Artificial faces as alternatives to real faces for publication

by Charlie Frowd

... following on from what Colin is saying, I'd be happy to supply sample images generated synthetically: they do look realistic. Regards, Charlie. Dr Charlie Frowd Department of Psychology 203 Darwin University of Central Lancashire Preston PR1 2HE (01772) 893439 http://www.EvoFIT.co.uk http://www.uclan.ac.uk/psychology/research/people/Frowd.html >>> Colin Tredoux 23/03/11 2:21 PM >>> This message is intended to reply to Rachel Robbins' request, but it may be of more general interest to others here. The faces I have made available to a number of people for research are indeed not available for publication, but a good alternative is to use synthetic faces - we have produced some software (ID) here at Cape Town that does a good job of producing highly realistic synthetic faces (not identifiable by blind raters as synthetic faces at levels above chance). It is very similar in many respects to the programs EVOFIT (Frowd and Hancock), and EIGENFIT (Solomon and Gibson et al.) I'll send you a couple of these if you are interested, Rachel.
