Welcome
to DICE Lab

How can we use Digital Technology and A.I. to understand human cognition in interaction? How can we adapt Digital Technology and A.I. to human cognitive and emotional interactive needs?

The Digitalisation, Interaction, Cogniton, Emotion (DICE) research Lab is based at the Department of Applied IT (University of Gothenburg). We focus on using technology to study interactive behaviour in clinical (e.g. social contexts) and applied (e.g. human-robot/human-vehicle) settings. Our research focuses on using novel cognitive methodologies, and A.I (Deep Learning, LLMs) for better understanding human-interaction, cognition and behaviour. Over the past few years we have been investigating:

  • how AI can help evaluate how human behaviour and physiology changes in safety critical driving situations;

  • how AI can be used for evaluating social interactions (both human-human and human-robot interactions);

  • digitised cognitive methodologies (e.g. DigiDOP) for mitigating cognitive decline in interventions;

  • how to enhance human engagement in cognitive interventions using different technology (e.g. social robots).
