CY Cognition

Scientific animation program and support for emerging research in cognitive sciences

The goal of our scientific animation program is to federate local skills and promote the emergence of inter-laboratory projects in cognitive science. CY University has significant strengths in modeling and educational sciences and it can also rely on the GHT-NOVO hospital group (Val d'Oise hospital group) which includes several services dealing with pathologies related to cognitive science.

Our network brings together hospital specialists (surgeons, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists, rehabilitators, etc.) and teacher-researchers (psychologists, sociologists, and modeling and AI specialists).

Our working group started its activities in spring 2019. The meetings allow exchanges between members of CY, schools on the site (ILEPS, EISTI, ENSEA, ESSEC) and hospital practitioners from GHT-NOVO). Our common areas of interest concern the understanding of cognitive mechanisms, their development and the treatment of associated pathologies. More specifically, our discussions focus on mental pathologies (diagnosis, modeling, treatment), education and school learning (cognitive development, educational methods, impact of new technologies, etc.) and rehabilitation.

Activities:

• Thematic days
• Regular seminar

Means:

• Funding of study days, seminars, workshops ...
• Internship funding
• Purchase of shared equipment

Objectives: develop synergies between existing teams to create an important pole in cognitive sciences (joint inter-laboratory projects).

5:00 p.m. Interests of automated social signal processing methods for psychopathology - David Cohen (head of the child and adolescent psychopathology department at the Pitié Salpétrière hospital, Paris)

Abstract: The study of social interactions and their dysfunctions is at the heart of psychopathology. Yet their study is complex. We propose to illustrate how the use of automated social signal processing methods has enabled a paradigm shift. From various sources (family films, laboratory experiments), we will show how these methods were used (1) to assess the synchrony between partners (baby, child, parent, agent or robot) in a pathological context (autism, neglectful mother ) or not ; (2) to characterize the interpersonal exchanges and the social signals exchanged (emotional prosody, movements, vocalization, turn of speech); (3) to introduce new approaches such as that of developmental robotics; (4) finally, to explore the insight in borderline adolescents.
