The Laboratory of Clinical Cognitive Sciences
We are the first Clinical Cognitive Science Laboratory in the country, founded in 2017, and the first psychological research laboratory of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences at the University of Bucharest.
The research directions of LSCC are based on the premise of interdisciplinarity and integrate elements of psychology and psychopathology, along with public health or digital mental health issues.

Research Directions

DIGITAL MENTAL HEALTH The Clinical Cognitive Science Laboratory focuses on the development and optimization of conversational agents for the diagnosis of mental health disorders. Our work centers on developing and optimizing an anxiety and depression diagnostic chatbot as part of the aiCARE project, as well as on developing and improving a serious game focused on eating disorders within the SIGMA project. |

HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION IN MENTAL HEALTH Studying the effect of the Uncanny Valley, which refers to the interaction between humans and anthropomorphized technological agents, is one of LSCC's priorities in this area. We also investigate the interaction between humans and conversational agents. |

COGNITIVE PSYCHOPATHOLOGY The laboratory focuses on the importance of cognitive processes that contribute to the clinical picture. In this regard, we concentrate on the analysis and training of autobiographical memory in our research efforts. |
