Artificial faces as alternatives to real faces for publication
by Colin Tredoux 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

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.

black South African faces
by Rachel Robbins 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi everyone, I ran a study using some great faces from Colin Tredoux, but the faces do not have permission for publication so I need just a few black African faces that I can use to make example stimuli for the paper (preferably black South African, but African-American or other parts of African would do). If any one has some, or knows a database that has some please let me know! (The Cohn-Kanade database has some but they are not the ones available for publication). Thanks! Rachel

Hi all, I'm a PhD student working with Vicki Bruce and Debbie Riby at Newcastle Uni, looking at the profiles of those with Williams Syndrome and ASDs in interpreting emotions from faces. Nicola, there is an excellent faces database, that I think sounds like what you need (although might not quite have enough photos but could be a start!) here: http://www.socsci.ru.nl:8180/RaFD2/RaFD?p=overview. You have to request access to it but they're generally happy to grant it as long as you're using the database for academic research. Hope that helps!

I will also introduce myself. My name is Kevin, and I have been working in the area of face perception and recognition since my undergraduate degree. I am now writing up my doctoral thesis at the University of Birmingham, where I have been investigating how social categorization influences perceptual processing and memory for same-and other-race faces. Within the last week, I am pleased to announce I have had my first set of PhD studies accepted for publication in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, where I investigated how social categorization influenced same-race and other-race processing in intra-or interracial contexts. My research interests in face perception are broad, but mainly focus on two ideas: (1) How social information determines the form of processing and memory outcome for faces (2) How and why are faces categorized into groups? (Whether these are salient or non-salient group memberships). Anybody who is interested in my work, please feel free to contact me. I also hope this list will prove useful in helping us form ideas, and even collaborations. Kind Regards, Kevin Cassidy ------------------------------------------ Kevin D.

My name is Chiara, I have worked on the recognition of emotional facial expressions since my undergraduate thesis - I am now completing my first post-doc -, and I am so fond of the topic that I wish to stay in the field of faces for many more years! During my PhD I focused on some aspects of the expressions' recognition ability that can be captured by using naturalistic dynamic displays (i.e. the existence of a dynamic advantage for facial expressions, or the ability of the observer to rely on the dynamic invariants of facial expressions). As a Post-doc at UCL, I am investigating facial expression recognition as a part of the Broad Autism Phenotype in Relatives, asking whether subtle abnormalities in perceiving facial expressions are a shared cognitive feature in families with children with Autism. I join the others in hoping that this list can help building "bridges" between face scientists, allowing us to share knowledge, ideas, and doubts.
