History

The SCALab and the CIPsi Lab collaborate since 2012, at the birth of the master double degree in Psychology that allowed the two sites to promote several interactions among students and researchers from Lille and Braga.

Both labs work on the idea that effective social interactions depend on the joint ability to detect social signals and regulate emotional responses in various inter-individual contexts.
