Hi and any assistance appreciated!

Hi all, I think this list is a great idea; thanks for letting me join it! Just a quick introduction...I worked with Debbie Riby as a research assistant 2 years ago looking at attention to faces in Williams Syndrome. I recently completed my MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of York where for my dissertation I looked at the representation of shape and texture of faces in the brain, supervised by Tim Andrews. I am just starting a PhD at Northumbria University looking at neurocognitive performance in Type 2 diabetes, looking particularly at the role of glycaemic control and task difficulty on recognition memory. I am in the initial stages of planning for my very first experiment and am looking for a face image database of at least 100 different faces (male and female, neutral expressions) which are high resolution, frontal view colour photographs. I have looked through several databases but they either do not have enough photos or the quality is not great. If anyone has access to a set or could point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful.

Asia-Pacific Conference on Vision

by William Hayward

Dear face researchers -- Many of you will hopefully have received our notifications, but in case you have missed them: We are holding the 2011 Asia-Pacific Conference on Vision at the University of Hong Kong, 15-18 July 2011. The conference covers all aspects of vision from single-unit neurophysiology to visual cognition, and we expect a decent number of presentations on faces and objects. For more information, please see the following site: http://www.apcv.net/ The deadline for submissions is Thursday this week (10 March) -- but if you don't have time to prepare an abstract before then we could probably accommodate you as long as you let me know before the deadline that you're interested in making a submission. Hope to see you in Hong Kong! Best Will ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Hayward Professor and Head of Department Department of Psychology University of Hong Kong Pokfulam Road Hong Kong.

hello

by Parr, Lisa

Good morning everyone I'm very excited to be part of this list. As an introduction, I am Lisa Parr, working on comparative social cognition in nonhuman primates, evaluating species differences as a means for assessing human specializations. My take on social cognition has focused on how monkeys and apes process identity and expression from faces. I have been at the Yerkes National Primate Reserach Center in Atlanta, GA since 1992, when I joined the lab of Dr. Frans de Waal as a research technician. I graduated from Emory with a PhD in Psychology in 2000. My thesis explored emotional behavior and expression in chimpanzees. For the last several years, our work has been dedicated towards understanding similarities and differences in the face processing of chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys. Our subjects perform computerized tasks where they are required to match faces based on a number of dimensions. We have studied inversion effects, composite effects, individual recognition, specific changes in facial viewpoint, contrast reversal, thatcher illusions, expression and identity categorization and most recently we have been working with Peter and his team to identify the physical features that differentiate the faces of monkeys and apes differ using PCA analysis and face composites. It might be interesting to some on this list that we have developed two nonhuman primate FACS systems, a ChimpFACS and a MaqFACS (rhesus macaques) in collaboration with researchers in both the US and UK. These can be found on my website. http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~lparr/index.html I'm looking forward to "meeting" and interacting with everyone. sincerely Lisa ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Introduction

by Regine Armann

Hi everyone, I'll also take the chance to introduce myself, as a very junior member of the group (great idea, it's a shame we haven't had something like this until now...). I just completed my PhD on face perception at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, in Heinrich Bülthoff's Department, mainly supervised by Isabelle Bülthoff. In my thesis, I explored different aspects of how faces are processed and encoded, using psychophysics, eye-tracking, and a high-level adaptation approach (this study I did in Gillian Rhodes' FaceLab in Perth). Currently, I am working on projects about how the sex of faces is represented in the brain (using an fMRI adaptation paradigm) and about cultural differences in eye-movements, together with colleagues from the Department of Brain and Cognitive Engineering at Korea University. And, I am looking for a post-doc position - so if anyone has anything to offer, please think of me :-). I would be particularly interested in studying how face processing and encoding (in healthy and maybe impaired individuals) is shaped by experience. But since our field offers a lot of interesting questions to tackle, there might be other projects just as exciting… Looking forward to more face-related posts/discussions/exchange, Best, Regine *************************************************************** Regine Armann MPI for Biological Cybernetics Spemannstr. 38 72076 Tübingen Germany Tel: ++49-7071-601 631 regine.armann(a)tuebingen.mpg.de <mailto:regine.armann@tuebingen.mpg.de> _http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/nc/de/mitarbeiter/details/armann.html#=0_
