CoDesign Lab

Minds. Experiences. Technologies.

CoDesign addresses -as one area of ongoing emphasis- the interpretation and synthesis of embodied cognitive experiences under ecologically valid naturalistic conditions using a synergy of empirical and analytical methods rooted in the cognitive and computational disciplines. Human-centred characteristics are central to our conception of AI-driven assistive technologies.

Human-Centred Computing.  
Formal and Cognitive Foundations.

We investigate the formal & cognitive foundations for human-centred computing, and the human-centred design, development, and usability of cognitive technologies aimed at human-in-the-loop assistance & empowerment in decision-making, planning, creative-technical problem-solving, and automation.

The scientific scope research in Artificial and Human Intelligence
encompasses the areas of:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Cognitive Science - Psychology
• Cognitive Neuroscience
• Visuospatial Cognition and Computation
• Human-Computer Interaction
• Design Sciene - Design Cognition

Research areas and themes that are presently of interest include:

• knowledge representation - semantics - commonsense - declarative methods
• semantic interpretation of multimodal human behaviour data
• integration of reasoning and learning - explainability - neurosymbolism
• synergy of computational and behavioural / empirical methods
• data-centred methods for psychology - psychology-driven AI - ``in the wild'' naturalistic experimentation
• embodiment - visuospatial thinking - motion & interaction - visuospatial perception and cognition
• design science - design cognition and computation - designing embodied cognitive experiences
