Guoying Zhao´s Academy Professor period started!
Machine Vision and Signal Analysis researcher Guoying Zhao has started her five-year Academy Professor period. The Finnish Academy nominates Academy Professors. They are internationally leading-edge researchers in their field and are expected to have a great scientific impact on the scientific community and society.
Read MoreWe held our project kick-off meeting online!
We discussed short and long term plans for the project, commonly agreed on objectives and how we will reach them together.
Haoyu Chen's paper, AniFormer: Data-driven 3D Animation with Transformer, has been accepted by BMVC 2021!
This work introduces AniFormer, a novel Transformer-based architecture, that generates animated 3D sequences by directly taking the raw driving sequences and arbitrary same-type target meshes as inputs.

Yante's paper, Deep Learning for Micro-expression Recognition: A Survey, has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing 2022!
This survey provides a comprehensive review of deep micro-expression recognition and defines a new taxonomy for the field encompassing all aspects of micro-expression recognition based on deep learning, including datasets, each step of the deep micro-expression recognition pipeline, and performance comparisons of the most influential methods. Additionally, we conclude the remaining challenges and potential directions for the design of robust micro-expression recognition systems. Finally, ethical considerations in MER are discussed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first survey of deep MER methods, and this survey can serve as a reference point for future MER research.

Guoying's paper, From Emotion AI to Cognitive AI, has been published by the International Journal of Network Dynamics and Intelligence (IJNDI)
This visionary paper briefly reviews the current developments in emotion AI, introduces the concept of cognitive AI, and proposes the envisioned future in which computers can think, reason, and make decisions like humans. The important aspects of cognitive AI and the important directions for building the future of cognitive AI are also discussed.

Our new EEG lab now open for participants!
Step into the future of brain science and join the ranks of cutting-edge research at our brand-new EEG lab! Be a part of something big and make your mark in the world of neuroscience. All participants are warmly welcome!
Looking for Participants for an Exciting Brain-Recording Experiment While Watching Movies!
We are looking for individuals who are interested in participating in a unique EEG experiment that involves watching movies while we record EEG brain signals, video recordings, and other physiological signals including electrocardiogram (ECG, for detecting heart rate] and galvanic skin response [GSR, for detecting skin conductance]). As a participant, you will have the opportunity to be a part of cutting-edge research that aims to understand how the brain responds to different kinds of movies.
