Symposium: Multidisciplinary Approaches to the Science of Face Perception

在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，哈克斯比博士和他的同事们将举办一次研讨会，将致力于不同学科的面部感知模型的研究人员聚集在一起，并为他们提供一个通过演讲、讨论和非正式互动进行互动的论坛。这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。研讨会将包括具有面部感知、神经心理学、非人灵长类神经生理学、功能神经成像和社会心理学认知和计算模型背景的演讲者。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。所有教员参与者都被要求从他们的实验室带一名研究生或博士后研究员一起来。这些学生和研究员将被要求在研讨会上展示海报。这些更年轻的研究人员的加入预计将加强这次研讨会对未来跨学科合作的影响。这次会议的记录将在网站上公布。演讲将以PowerPoint文件的形式提供，其中包括音频和视频记录，并将包括讨论。通过以流媒体形式在网站上发布会议记录，信息的传播速度将比出版的卷快得多。然后，这些讲座也将用于教学目的，供每个人使用。受邀的参与者包括大多数将面孔感知研究作为一项科学努力的研究人员。研讨会的范围很广，涉及的学科很多，但也集中在一个具体的研究领域。人工智能系统计算模型的最新进展可以识别人脸身份并解释人脸动作，这可能会与人脸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，可以提供新的想法，并将其整合到计算系统中。更好地理解神经和计算系统可能会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，应该提供一个在这些学科之间传递信息的论坛，并为建立新的合作关系提供机会。这次研讨会将提供一个多学科的综合最先进的知识，关于计算机和神经系统的代表和解释的脸。培养新的协作关系将推动会议所代表的所有学科领域的发展。纳入学生和研究员将有助于教育这一领域的下一代调查人员。此外，我们将鼓励普林斯顿大学对面孔感知感兴趣的研究生参加研讨会，并展示他们的研究海报。

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.
