[visionlist] workshop on the psychology of face and gesture recognition

[Frank Pollick]

Hi,

As part of the 7th International IEEE Automatic Face and Gesture 
Recognition Conference this April 10-12 in Southampton, UK there will 
be a workshop organised by Frank Pollick and James Haxby on the 
psychology of face and gesture recognition.  The date of the workshop 
is 11 April 2006.  Details can be found at:  
http://www.fg2006.ecs.soton.ac.uk/workshop.html

The list of speakers and topics includes:

Michael Beauchamp, University of Texas Medical School at Houston, See 
me, Hear me, Touch Me: Multisensory Aspects of Face and Gesture 
Perception

Andy Calder, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Adaptation of Eye 
Gaze Perception

	Ruth Campbell, University College London, Cortical dissociations and 
associations for the perception of mouth and hand actions in and out of 
sign language.

	Antonio Camurri, University of Genova, Computational models and 
techniques for multimodal analysis of expressive gesture

	Yiannis Demiris, Imperial College London,TBA

	Tamar Flash, Weizmann Institute,TBA

	Alan Johnston, UCL, Recognition of facial movement across changes in 
pose

	Aina Puce, West Virginia University, Neural and hemodynamic responses 
to facial gestures generated by real and synthetic faces

	Edmund Rolls, Oxford University, Neurophysiology of face perception 
and gesture, and a new computational mechanism for the invariant 
recognition of gesture.

	Thomas Shipley, Temple University, When action meets word: Event 
parsing, representation, and verb learning

	Rufin Vogels, KU Leuven Medical School, Neural mechanisms of action 
recognition in macaque temporal cortex

The goal of the workshop is to facilitate exchange of ideas between 
researchers working in automatic recognition with those working in 
various aspects of the psychology and neuroscience of face and gesture 
recognition.

Best

Frank
