Pôle Interactions Computational Psychology

Contact: Alain Finkel

We are working on topics that combine computer science and psychology. The central idea is to apply formal methods from computer science to better understand psychology.

A non-exhaustive list of the current research questions addressed in this group includes:

  • Modeling psychological theories using formal tools such as automata
  • Formalizing subjective experiences
  • Modeling psychotherapy methods using formal tools
  • Modeling personal narratives as symbolic sequences to enable alternative analyses
  • Detecting emotions and mental states
