Applied Artificial Intelligence Lab

The AAIL is an interdisciplinary environment, which combines different aspects from Computational Neuroscience, as complexity and randomness perception in humans, computational linguistics, data mining in big text corpus and source code, interactive dialogue systems, speech recognition and real-time analysis of brain signals.

Integrative Neuroscience Lab

The INL is an interdisciplinary group integrated by physicists, psychologists, biologists, engineers, educational and biotechnology scientists, linguists, mathematicians, artists and computer scientists.

The group has wide interests in neuroscience and experimental psychology. Over the last years we developed an empirical and theoretical approach to decision making, with special focus on the assemblage of unitary decisions into mental programs and understanding the construction of confidence and subjective beliefs. Many aspects of our investigation rely on data mining and computational tools on massive corpus of human behavior (text, decision making...). Several members of the group have over the last years developed lines of research to understand how current knowledge of the brain and the mind may serve to improve educational practice. Many of the projects conducted are developed at schools throughout the country and these investigations on cognitive development are being extended to hundreds of thousands of children through the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) framework.
