Call for Submissions - BPS Cognitive Psychology Section Conference 7-9 Sept, Brighton
by Butcher, Natalie 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Hi, This year's BPS Cognitive Psychology Section conference is hosted by Sussex University (Brighton) on the 7th to 9th September. There's always a great turn out from face recognition researchers. So this will be a great opportunity for face researchers to share ideas and present their work. Registration is now open and the committee have decided to also reopen the submission portal as we have received a number of enquiries from interested section members who were not able to submit their abstracts by the original deadline, and we still have capacity to welcome additional speakers. The new deadline for submissions is 11:59pm on 19th July 2022. We welcome individual proposals, themed symposia as well as Work in Progress submissions. Full details are available at Submissions | BPS<https://www.bps.org.uk/events/cognitive-psychology-section-annual-conferenc…>. Some postgraduate bursaries (up to £400) are also available - for me information and to apply for a PG bursary see Cognitive Psychology Section: Awards & Funding | BPS<https://www.bps.org.uk/member-microsites/cognitive-psychology-section/award…> Best wishes Natalie Butcher (BPS Cognitive Section Committee Member) Cognition & Decision Making Theme Lead of the Centre for Applied Psychological Science (CAPS): https://research.tees.ac.uk/en/organisations/centre-for-applied-psychologic… Twitter: @TeesPsych @Dr_N_Butcher [cid:image001.png@01D89123.2E20E420]<http://www.tees.ac.uk/schools/ssshl/?utm_source=teesside-uni-staff&utm_medi…> Dr Natalie Butcher [Na-ta-lie Buh-chuh] Senior Lecturer in Psychology T: 01642 342385 School of Social Sciences, Humanities & Law [cid:image002.png@01D89123.2E20E420]<https://www.facebook.com/TeessideUni/> [image006]<https://twitter.com/TUSSSBL> [image007]<https://uk.linkedin.com/edu/teesside-university-12727> [image008]<https://www.instagram.com/teessideuni/> tees.ac.uk<http://www.tees.ac.uk/schools/ssshl/?utm_source=teesside-uni-staff&utm_medi…>

call for paper: Recent Advances in Detecting Manipulation Attacks on Biometric Systems (ADMA-2022) IJCB 2022 - Special Session

*Recent Advances in Detecting Manipulation Attacks on Biometric Systems (ADMA-2022) IJCB 2022 - Special Session* *Website:* https://sites.google.com/view/ijcb-ss-adma-2022/home Manipulated attacks in biometrics via modified images/videos and other material-based techniques such as presentation attacks and deep fakes have become a tremendous threat to the security world owing to increasingly realistic spoofing methods. Hence, such manipulations have triggered the need for research attention towards robust and reliable methods for detecting biometric manipulation attacks. The recent inclusion of manipulation/generation methods such as auto-encoder and generative adversarial network approaches combined with accurate localisation and perceptual learning objectives added an extra challenge to such manipulation detection tasks. Due to this, the performance of existing state-of-the-art manipulation detection methods significantly degrades in the unknown scenarios. Apart from this, real-time processing, manipulation on low-quality medium, limited availability of data, and inclusion of these manipulation detection techniques for forensic investigation are yet to be widely explored. Hence, this special session aims to profile recent developments and push the border of the digital manipulation detection technique on biometric systems. We invite practitioners, researchers and engineers from biometrics, signal processing, material science, mathematics, computer vision and machine learning to contribute their expertise to underpin the highlighted challenges. Further, this special session promote cross-disciplinary research by inviting the partitioner in the field of psychology where one can perform the human observer (or super-recogniser) analysis to detect attacks. Topics of interest include but not limited to:  Deepfake manipulation and detection technique  Novel generalised PAD to unknown attacks  Image manipulation techniques datasets  Database in image and video manipulation, and attacks  Privacy preserving techniques in digital manipulation attack detection  Image and video synthesis in PAD  Image and video manipulation generation and detection  Human observer analysis in detecting the manipulated biometric images  Novel sensors for detecting manipulated attacks  Bias analyses and mitigation in attack detection algorithms Submission Guidelines:  Submit your papers at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/IJCB2022 in a special session track.  Paper presented at ADMA-2022 will be published as part of the IJCB2022 and should, therefore, follow the same guideline as the main conference.  Page limit: A paper can be up to 8 pages including figures and tables, plus additional pages for references only. If the 7th and 8th pages contain any content other than references, they will incur a cost of USD100 per page.  Papers will be double-blind peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. Please remove author names, affiliations, email addresses, etc. from the paper. Remove personal acknowledgments. Important Dates:  Full Paper Submission: July 27, 2022, 23:59:59 PDT  Acceptance Notice: August 17, 2022, 23:59:59 PDT  Camera-Ready Paper: August 24, 2022, 23:59:59 PDT Organizing Committee: Dr. Abhijit Das, BITS Pilani, India Prof. Raghavendra Ramachandra, NTNU, Norway Meiling Fang, Fraunhofer IGD, Germany Dr. Naser Damer, Fraunhofer IGD, Germany Prof. Hu Han, CAS, China

face matching data wanted
by Peter Hancock 30 Jun '22

30 Jun '22

I have an EPS (Experimental Psychology Society) funded project looking for patterns in face matching trials - is it the case that people who successfully match one pair tend to match another - are there groups of pairs that are solved in similar ways? To progress this I need as much data as possible for common face matching tasks, such as Glasgow, Kent, EFCT etc. I don't need any information about the participants, just how they responded to each trial. We intend to make the collected data public; if you are happy to share with me but not more generally, please say. I'd be very grateful for anything you can dig out.

In 22 projects, the CRC 1528 “Cognition of Interaction” investigates how fundamental cognitive functions and their neurobiological foundations contribute to human and nonhuman primate social behavior and social interactions. The CRC is formed by a highly interdisciplinary consortium formed by systems and computational neuroscientists, data scientists, psychologists and behavioral and cognitive biologists. Partner institutions are the University of Göttingen, the University Medical Center, the German Primate Center, the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Weizmann Institute of Science. In the context of this CRC, the Neural Circuits and Cognition Lab of Caspar Schwiedrzik at the European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen is looking for an outstanding PhD student interested in studying face perception and predictive processing. The project investigates neural mechanisms of face perception and predictive processing at the level of circuits and single cells, utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in combination with electrophysiology and pharmacology in non-human primates. The Neural Circuits and Cognition Lab seeks to understand the cortical basis and computational principles of visual perception and experience-dependent plasticity in the macaque and human brain. To this end, we use a multimodal approach including fMRI-guided electrophysiological recordings in non-human primates and fMRI and iEEG in humans. The PhD student will play a key role in our research efforts in this area. The lab is located at the European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen (https://www.eni-g.de) and the German Primate Center ( https://www.dpz.eu) which are interdisciplinary research centers with international faculty and students pursuing cutting-edge research in neuroscience. Further scientific exchange within the CRC and the Leibniz ScienceCampus ‘Primate Cognition’ (https://www.primate-cognition.eu) ensures a broad interdisciplinary framework for networking and cooperation. The PhD student will have access to a dedicated imaging center with a dedicated 3T research scanner, state-of-the-art electrophysiology, and behavioral setups. For an overview of our work and representative publications, please see our website https://www.eni-g.de/groups/neural-circuits-and-cognition. The position is available immediately with an initial appointment for 2 years and a salary according to 65% TV-L E13. Extensions beyond 2 years are possible. The successful candidate will join one of the many excellent graduate schools on the Göttingen Campus. Candidates should have a degree (master, diploma or equivalent) in a relevant field (e.g., neuroscience, psychology, biology), and ideally prior experience with non-human primates, strong quantitative, programming, and experimental skills, and share a passion for understanding the neural basis of visual perception and its plasticity. A good command of English is a requirement, but fluency in German is not essential. Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae, a description of their scientific interests and the names and contact information of two references who are able to comment on your academic background and who agreed to be contacted to Caspar M.
