TipAttributed agency

How do we perceive the human contribution in interactions involving artificial agents? How do we attribute agency to artificial agents? What are the consequences of this attribution for our interactions with them?

TipBayesian approaches

Why Bayesian approaches are as relevant to study cognition than analysing data? The brain has proven itself to be a good Bayesian inferer, should bayesian approaches of data analysis be interpreted as reversed-engineered models of cognition?

TipMicroforcography, Grip Force, …

How microvariations in force can be used to monitor cognitive processes ? Cumulated data expose the potential of these measures to monitor cognitive processes in real-time, how can we improve the methodology ?

TipPerceptive decision-making

Perception is already a (involontary) decision. Implications for a better collective decision process.
