Questions related to Face Perception
Imagine we have ten pictures of faces and we have them rated for attractiveness. Let's say 20 participants rate them using a 1-5 Likert scale (1=unattractive; 5=attractive). Another 20 participants rate the same faces using a 1-7 Likert scale (1=unattractive; 7=attractive). Finally, another 20 participants rate those same faces using a 1-9 Likert scale (1=unattractive; 9=attractive).
We assume there is some underlying quality, "attractiveness", that these different scales are trying to quantify. How best can we analyse these data to get at the question of this underlying measure, how well each scale measures it, and whether some scales do a better job than others, etc.?
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions!
This is mainly addressed to biologists, especially those who are studying sensory perception in animals and/or human beings. Also, people from other areas, such as medicine or engineering, who have turned their attention to neuroscience are welcome to contribute. I want to know how our system extracts pertinent features such as frequency selective transduction in the cochlea by the hair cells and orientation selective neurons in the brain. What other such processing is known, that perform dedicated feature extraction from the sensory inputs ?
Can anyone point me to a freely available database of Nordic (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian etc.) face images? Does such a thing exist?
Thanks!
We are looking for a large database (200+) of pictures of human faces with neutral facial expression, in order to conduct an experiment on nonverbal learning mechanisms. We have difficulties finding appropriate pictures because we need people in the pictures to be Caucasian, age 20 to 40, with neutral facial expression, and on neutral background. Also, it would be very good if the database is free for research purposes use. Can somebody please suggest the existing database that he or she knows?
Thank you in advance,

I am working on facial emotion recognition task, for that I need either dynamic facial images or morphed one as an experimental stimuli (As static images I have already used). For that purpose, please do suggest some concerned database.
My collaborators and I are putting together a symposium for Psychonomics 2017 and have some findings that go against the grain (we don't find an attentional bias to select faces across several studies). We are looking for other presenters for this symposium, so if you have data that is relevant that you'd like to present with us please email me directly - ebirming@sfu.ca
Are there any face stimulus sets provided at a higher resolution than those of the Chicago Face Database (2444x1818)?
We conducted an experiment measuring automatically emotions in the face during three n-back tasks with different task difficulties. Often, the different emotions show a fast vacillating, i.e. significant changes of the intensity of the emotion with mostly a low amplitude.
In the literature oscillating or vacillating emotions are in most cases defined as changes between emotions. In papers that report about vacillation of the same emotion often the changes are not described as fast as we have observed (within three seconds or less).
Is there a theory about fast vacillating emotions (i.e. fast changes of its amplitude)?
Do you know good literature with more information (e.g. experiments, theory, observations, ...) about fast vacaillating emotions?
Hello! I'm looking trying to find Stimulus sets consisting of facial photos of Arab-Mulsim people. In the best of worlds previously used in Imlicit Attitude tests (IAT). I thought this would be easy, but i've scored nil so far. Any input would be greatly appriciated! /Leo
Hi all,
I am trying to verify a face if the face image is partially occluded. Please suggest me a method. will In-painting technique give good result?
Hello Network, I am looking into the Noldus Face Reader software for an emotion project expected to run this Autumn/Winter. Does anyone have experience using this software or can recommend other video based software? I have many questions. Thank you!
I made a study with two types of targets (3 shematic faces or 3 schematic houses). The task where participants had to detect the 3 schematic houses and ignore distractors (photo of houses or faces) seems to be more difficult (reaction time bigger, more false alarms) than the task where participants had to detect the 3 shematic faces.
As the heterogeneity of the 3 schematic houses is more pronounced than the heterogeneity of the 3 schematic faces, i wanted to know if some studies have investigated the impact of the heterogeneity of the target on attentional capture by distractors ?
I'm testing autistic subjects on how well they can read natural not-posed facial expressions.
I am searching for a publicly available database with frontal photographs of neutral Asian faces.
I found the names of some but cannot find a way to enter them (e.g. Korean Face database, CAS-PEAL Face Database, Asian Face Image Database PF01). Can anyone help?
I am trying to obtain a good database that will allow me to investigate how we process emotions from facial expressions according to the angle that the face is presented at, i.e. 0-90degrees.
