Social & Cognitive Neuroscience
Leveraging virtual, augmented, and mixed realities alongside artificial intelligence, while innovatively enhancing clinical and everyday practices
Social & Cognitive Neuroscience
The Social & Cognitive Neuroscience (SCN) research group is at the forefront of exploring social processes and human cognition through the lens of cutting-edge technologies (virtual, augmented and mixed realities) and artificial intelligence (AI).
Our team is committed to investigating innovative high-tech solutions, aiming to deepen the scientific comprehension of human cognitive processes in various contexts. Additionally, we focus on enhancing clinical practices, improving everyday life activities, and optimizing work procedures.
Research Areas
Human chemosignals
We investigate the ways in which human chemosignals, associated with either neutral or emotional states, influence virtual social interactions and perception, as well as cognitive abilities
Neuropsychological Assessment & Treatment
We explore ways to enhance the assessment and treatment procedures for neuropsychological and psychiatric disorders by applying technology and artificial intelligence to human biosignals
Immersive Analytics
We investigate ways to enhance the presentation of complex data through the use of innovative technologies and cross-modal visualization metaphors, while considering the cognitive and emotional workload of users
Social Synchrony
We explore the enhancement of social neural synchrony through virtual reality, enabling physically distant individuals to collaborate more effectively on tasks
