Speakers

Ivan Norscia

Evolutionary Biology, Sociobiology

He is an Associate Professor at University of Turin, Italy. His work focuses on behavioral ecology and sociobiology of humans and non-human animals (monkeys, apes) from an evolutionary point of view. His research covers several aspects such as biological markers, anxiety-related responses, behavioral mimicry, and empathy-based behaviors

Suresh R. Neethirajan

AI, Animal-Computer Interaction

He is an Associate Professor and University Research Chair at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada. He works on Animal-Computer Interaction, dedicated to developing sensor technologies and artificial intelligence-based solutions aimed at understanding animal emotions and enhancing animal welfare. His team has developed a facial emotion recognition coding platform for detecting emotions in cows and pigs.

Roza Kamiloğlu

Nonverbal Behavior in Human

She is a Research Associate at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Her research focuses on nonverbal communication of positive emotions, with a specific focus on vocal expressions and how they shape group social behaviors (e.g., perception of group membership, culture, behavioral contexts)

Rachael E. Jack

Human Emotions, Social Cognition

She is a Professor at the University of Glasgow, UK. Her research has produced significant advances in understanding facial expressions of emotion within and across cultures using a novel interdisciplinary approach that combines psychophysics, social psychology, dynamic 3D computer graphics, and mathematical psychology.

Ruud Hortensius

Social Cognition, Human-Robot Interaction

He is a Professor at Utrecht University, The Netherlands. His work focuses on how and when people form relationships with artificial intelligence and how this is influencing our everyday social cognition. His research covers when and how AI changes specific aspects of social cognition (e.g. emotions, reward, empathy, trust, and social learning)

Lola Cañamero

Developmental Robotics, Philosophy

She is Full Professor and Chair of Neuroscience and Robotics at the Neurocybernetics Team of the ETIS Lab, CY Cergy Paris University, France. Her current research focuses on artificial physiology and on the role(s) that emotional phenomena play in various aspects of intelligence, adaptation, behavior, and interaction, particularly via mechanisms such as hormonal/chemical modulation and its interaction dynamics.

Giada Cordoni

Sociobiology, Zoology, Biological Anthropology

She is a Research Associate at University of Turin, Italy. Her research focuses on the study of evolutionary processes and the biological roots of human and non-human social behavior. Some research line involve play dyanamics, conflict resolution, and empathetic communicatio in several species such as great apes, spider monkey, gray wolfs, African elephant, domestic dogs and wallaby
