Distinct ERP Correlates of Detection, Norm‐based Coding, and Identification in Face Perception
Stefan R. SCHWEINBERGER, Ph.D.
Full Professor and Chair
General Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany
Venue: LT2, Sino Building, Chung Chi College, CUHK
Time: 11:00 am, 29 October 2018 (Monday)
The strengths of event‐related brain potentials (ERPs) include a millisecond time resolution window to neural processes underlying perception and recognition of complex stimuli under relatively natural viewing conditions. I will present both systematic research conducted over the past 25 years and current data which show how we can systematically link different ERP components to different functional processes that relate to face detection (N170), norm‐based coding (P200), and identification (N250). The research I present provides converging evidence for these links emerging from investigations with diverse paradigms, including own‐race and own‐age biases in face perception, effects of facial distinctiveness and photorealistic caricaturing, effects of parametric manipulations of distance‐to‐norm in faces and their corresponding anti‐faces, and effects of facial familiarity. While basic research is yet to exploit the full potential of ERPs to investigate multiple processes in face perception, I will show a few applied examples for how these components can be used as tools to probe different aspects of face perception that are induced experimentally, or that are subject to individual differences in face recognition abilities.

Career Talk -- Searching for the Perfect Company to Work for - January 22nd, 2019
You are nearly finished with your degree. You have some idea (based on the previous workshop in this series) about what you want to do with your life - or at least how to explain what Psychology is to recruiters. This workshop will help you to research potential companies that you might want to work for after graduation. With your general idea of what you want to do (i.e., what general industry or what function you would like to take on), the next step is finding the companies that fit your interests. This workshop will provide you with practical, hands-on techniques that are used by recruiters (head-hunters) to fill positions in many different industries. By using these techniques, you will be able to find a number of companies that fit your criteria and begin to narrow your search to the best company for you.
