This has been a summer full of conferences. In addition to the Asian Pacific Conference on Vision (APCV) in Tainan. I have attended at the European Conference for Visual Perception (ECVP) and to the Conference of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (ESCoP), both in Germany.
At ECVP, I presented some evidence showing that Malaysian-Chinese do not present an other race effect (the advantage to recognize own-race faces compared to other race-face). In addition, this population seems to rely on the same process to recognize own and other race faces. At ESCoP, I presented some results showing that unfamiliar face recognition requires more than two fixations.
In both conferences, I received excellent feedback and had a great time with old friends and colleagues.
