Symposium: Multidisciplinary Approaches to the Science of Face Perception

在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，Haxby博士和他的同事们将举办一个研讨会，将不同学科中从事面部感知模型研究的研究人员聚集在一起，并为他们提供一个论坛，通过演讲、讨论和非正式互动进行互动。本次研讨会的目的是促进跨学科的思想交流和促进合作研究项目。本次研讨会将包括具有面部感知认知和计算模型、神经心理学、非人灵长类动物神经生理学、功能神经成像和社会心理学背景的演讲者。这些研究人员正在研究面孔如何被感知和表现的相互关联的问题。所有的教师参与者都被要求从他们的实验室带一名研究生或博士后。这些学生和研究员将被要求在研讨会上展示海报。这些年轻研究者的加入有望提高本次研讨会对未来跨学科合作的影响。会议记录将在网站上公布。这些演讲将以PowerPoint文件的形式提供，并附有声音和视频记录，还将包括讨论内容。通过将会议记录作为一个带有流媒体的网站发布，信息的传播将比出版卷的传播要快得多。讲座也将提供给每个人用于教学目的。被邀请的参与者包括大多数将面部感知研究作为科学努力的研究者。这次研讨会不仅涉及广泛的学科，而且还侧重于一个特定的研究领域。人工智能系统计算模型的最新进展可以识别面部身份并解释面部动作，这可能与面部感知的功能神经成像和社会认知研究相结合。相反，更好地理解人脸感知是如何在人脑中实现的，可以为计算系统提供新的想法。更好地了解神经系统和计算系统可能为研究社会认知和社会认知障碍提供新的见解。将来自不同学科的研究人员聚集在这次研讨会上，应该为这些学科之间传递信息提供一个论坛，并为建立新的合作关系提供机会。本次研讨会将提供关于面部表征和解释的计算和神经系统的最新知识的多学科综合。培养新的合作关系将在会议上代表的所有学科中推进该领域。学生和研究员的参与将有助于教育这一领域的下一代研究人员。此外，我们将鼓励普林斯顿大学对面部感知感兴趣的研究生参加研讨会，并展示他们的研究成果。

With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Haxby and colleagues will hold a symposium that will bring together investigators who are working on models of face perception within different disciplines and provide a forum for them to interact through presentations, discussions, and informal interactions. The aim of this symposium is to facilitate interdisciplinary transfer of ideas and fostering collaborative research projects. The symposium will include speakers with backgrounds in cognitive and computational models of face perception, neuropsychology, non-human primate neurophysiology, functional neuroimaging, and social psychology. These researchers are working on inter-related problems concerning how faces are perceived and represented. All faculty participants are asked to bring a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow from their laboratories with them. These students and fellows will be asked to present posters at the symposium. The inclusion of these younger investigators is expected to enhance the impact of this symposium on future interdisciplinary collaborations. Proceedings of this meeting will be published on a web-site. The talks will be available as PowerPoint files with auditory and video recordings, and will include the discussion. By publishing the proceedings as a web-site with streaming media, the information will be disseminated much sooner than would be the case with a published volume. The talks will also then be available for instructional purposes to everyone. The invited participants include most of the investigators who have made the study of face perception a scientific endeavor. The symposium is both broad in terms of the number of disciplines that are represented, but is also focused on a specific domain of inquiry. Recent advances in computational models for artificial intelligence systems that can recognize face identity and interpret face action can potentially be integrated with functional neuroimaging and social cognitive investigations of face perception. Conversely, better understanding of how face perception is implemented in the human brain can provide new ideas that could be incorporated in a computational system. Better understanding of neural and computational systems may provide new insights for investigating social cognition and disorders of social cognition. Bringing investigators from various disciplines together in this symposium should provide a forum to transfer information among these disciplines and opportunities for establishing new collaborative relationships. This symposium will provide a multidisciplinary synthesis of state-of-the-art knowledge about computational and neural systems for representing and interpreting faces. Fostering new collaborative relationships will advance the field in all of the disciplines represented at the meeting. The inclusion of students and fellows will help to educate the next generation of investigators in this area. In addition, we will encourage graduate students at Princeton University who have an interest in face perception to attend the symposium and present posters on their research.
