Psychomorph For Mac

Java psychomorph webstart launch page

March 2013

  • The PsychReport provides a full range of clinical case - patient management functionality for Psychology. It can handle an unlimited number of patients.
  • Information for Mac Maverick (10.9) and Mountain Lion (10.8) Users (20 Aug 2012). After the download, the operating system reports that the application has not been signed and reminds you that the default security preferences prevent you from running such applications.
  • Psychomorph is a morphing program designed for making systematic changes to photographic face images. Originally created in Dave Perrett's Perception Lab at St Andrews University, it is maintained by Bernie Tiddeman at the University of Aberystwyth. The current version uses java and will run on PC, Mac or Linux.

Click to launch java psychomorph (version 6).

Psychomorph Applications uses decision making approaches and technology to stop workplace violence, bullying and suicide, its origin is predictive sciences, repurposed for prevention. More complex or specialised instructions to help you get the more out of Psychomorph. General tips Clare Sutherland's User Guide. We will put more information here on how to use JPsychoMorph. Release notes ¶ Version 4.

You should be prompted to open with javaws, click OK and again when you get the security warning (or two) as it is a self-signed jar file.

Some example images to start playing with are available here images.zip

Help pages are provided on the wiki. Details of the API (e.g. for writing plugins) are available here.

Some other (possibly) useful data is available here extra.zip. This includes some masks, symmetry file and wavelet filters.

The current version has some improved computer vision tools, including face and feature detection and groupwise alignment. For the face and feature detection you will need the face detection data (this is generated by OpenCV but has the - stripped out of comments to keep Java happy), the PSM feature detection data and/or the ORASM feature detection data. You will need to unzip the data to your hard drive to use it. The PSM and ORASM data were trained on the BioID data set with some enrichement (+ or - 10 degree rotations). The ORASM data uses all the 20 points supplied with the BioID data, the PSM uses 5 points (points 0, 1, 14, 2 and 3 from the full set).

Stimulus Generators and software

Faces:

  • Face generator: You are free (see web site) to download the demo version and then generate faces to suit. They come out with a little water mark when generated (they also have no hair).

Bodies: Two generators used by professionals and amateur animators alike.

  • DAZ Studios 3D (free)

Object Line drawings:

The IUAV image dataset

  • This is a database ofline drawings (772 images of industrial/commercially produced products) from Marco Bertamin and Michele Sinico free to use via the OSF. The set includes author information, object classification, category (computer vs free hand drawing), sec of author, shading information, file size and resolution file size, type and ratio. Also included are (naive raters) ratings:

  • Beauty (ugly/beautiful),

  • Lightness (dark/light),

  • Complexity (complex/simple),

  • Weight (heavy/light), Style (old/modern),

  • Danger (dangerous/safe),

  • Symmetry (asymmetry/symmetry)

  • The ratings were from naive observers

Experiment generators and on-line particpant recruitment (crowd sourcing) sites.

  • PsyscopeX The classic experiment generator for the mac (updated and improved). It is a work in progress but it has been around for a while. It is easy to use and reasonably reliable. It’s also free.

  • PsychoPy concieved, built and designed by Dr Jon Pearce (University of Nottingham) as a free (open source) alternative to other ([insert brand name here]) experimental generators. This is a python programming language based experimental generator that works across all platforms.

It's an ongoing project and any bugs typically infrequent, often minor, and usually fixed by Jon and others, fairly quickly. Best of all it's free, and it has a nice and fairly intuitive GUI if you don't like programming but you can get under the hood and get it to do pretty much anything you want. It’s also very easy to generate simple experiments e(including psychophysical types) using lists without any programming experience

  • Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT)- This may appeal to some of you as research tool (it’s actually for crowd sourcing for research).

  • ProlificAcademic Pure crowd sourcing – UK based (I think) but with worldwide reach. They have an ethical pay rate (minimum wage).

  • Opesesame - More open source freeware that can be used to program experiments. It's python based and it is backended by PsychoPy. Mostly very easy to use and it has more colourful GUI than PsychoPy. Being open sourced and python based you can either use the GUI or get under the hood and code. It's also multi-platform.

  • Vision-egg- This is another s an Open GL hig level Python platform experimental generator for visual science experiments (largely). If you use this software please cite Straw, Andrew D. (2008) Vision Egg: An Open-Source Library for Realtime Visual Stimulus Generation. Frontiers in Neuroinformatics. doi: 10.3389/neuro.11.004.2008

Speech/sound analysis software:

  • Praat: Free (open GL) speech analysis software for acoustic analysis (by Paul Boersma, University of Amsterdam). It's also multi-platform.

  • Audacity® is open source (cross-platform) software for recording and editing sounds. It’s free and very easy to use.

  • Pasrelmouth Praat Scripts in Python - This is a citable Python Jupyter Notebook to Measure Voice Pitch and HNR. you will need to make sure you have all teh libraries installed when you run it. Curtosey of David Fiendberg, via the OSF

Face Morphing software

  • Psychomorph - The best and it’s free though it is a bit tricky to get started with:

A version of this is also being developed here. And an accessible and handy guide was developed by Clare Sutherland (University of York). It can be found here:

  • FantaMorph - (not free) but pretty reliable and easy enough to use.

  • SqirlzMorph- Also free but has less control. It's fun though

  • MorphAnalyser (2.4) this is an independent web browser platform that allows you to view and manipulating 3D images. A very handy wiki can be found here.

Other:

  • The Computer Expression Recognition Toolbox (CERT) – Emotion recognition software from the University of California, Sandiago (Littlewort, Wu, Whitehill, Fasel, Movellan, Bartlett). Actually there is tons of stuff for human machine interaction to be found here.

  • Psytookit: From Glasgow University, this is part experiment generator and part teaching aid. It’s free and it’s rather easy to use. Also see wikipedia for a summary.

  • AnInteractive Introduction to Fourier Transforms by Jez Swanson

Linguistic databases:

  • Oxford MRC linguistic database.

  • University of York: Department of langue and linguistic science: Corpora and databases.

Psycholinguistics data bases:

  • Experimental Linguists : Database forPsycholinguistics, words lists etc

DOIs getter:

  • Cross ref: cross ref& cross ref simple query

If like me your reference manager does manage dois or (also like me) you are a bit half-hearted when collecting references and don’t have the dois try this free service:

Once registered all you need do is just import, copy/paste or type in your reference and then return it and your dois will be given to you…. If they are available.
