How AI is advancing Clinical Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neuroscience

Nicolas Langer
University of Zurich
May 17, 2023

This talk aims to highlight the immense potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing the field of psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Through the integration of machine learning algorithms, big data analytics, and neuroimaging techniques, AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we study human cognition and brain characteristics. In this talk, I will highlight our latest scientific advancements in utilizing AI to gain deeper insights into variations in cognitive performance across the lifespan and along the continuum from healthy to pathological functioning. The presentation will showcase cutting-edge examples of AI-driven applications, such as deep learning for automated scoring of neuropsychological tests, natural language processing to characeterize semantic coherence of patients with psychosis, and other application to diagnose and treat psychiatric and neurological disorders. Furthermore, the talk will address the challenges and ethical considerations associated with using AI in psychological research, such as data privacy, bias, and interpretability. Finally, the talk will discuss future directions and opportunities for further advancements in this dynamic field.

Exploring the Potential of High-Density Data for Neuropsychological Testing with Coregraph

Coregraph is a tool under development that allows us to collect high-density data patterns during the administration of classic neuropsychological tests such as the Trail Making Test and Clock Drawing Test. These tests are widely used to evaluate cognitive function and screen for neurodegenerative disorders, but traditional methods of data collection only yield sparse information, such as test completion time or error types. By contrast, the high-density data collected with Coregraph may contribute to a better understanding of the cognitive processes involved in executing these tests. In addition, Coregraph may potentially revolutionize the field of cognitive evaluation by aiding in the prediction of cognitive deficits and in the identification of early signs of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's dementia. By analyzing high-density graphomotor data through techniques like manual feature engineering and machine learning, we can uncover patterns and relationships that would be otherwise hidden with traditional methods of data analysis. We are currently in the process of determining the most effective methods of feature extraction and feature analysis to develop Coregraph to its full potential.
