NIST, ITL, Measuring the Accuracy of Facial Forensics Comparisons - Recruitment Email

Attachment XX – ITL-0021

Recruitment Announcement

Building on the success of the facial forensic black box study, we are conducting the Measuring the accuracy of facial forensics comparisons research study. This study will allow us to gain insight into the face recognition ability of facial forensic examiners, laying the foundation for future black-box studies. This research study will measure the perceptual performance of facial forensic examiners.

We are recruiting participants to complete 3 experiments. This study is open all participants who may be a facial forensic examiner, a face super-recognizer, or a fingerprint examiner. The performance from these groups will allow for a detailed analysis of facial forensics comparisons.

By participating in this research study, you will assist in developing a scientific measure of performance of facial forensic comparison. These results will help meet the Daubert standard for the admissibility of expert witness testimony.

If you are will to volunteer, please contact the principle investigator, Dr. Jonathon Phillips by email at jonathon@nist.gov or by phone at +1 301-975-5348.
