DESCRIPTION:Abstract: To understand human cognition in its functioning and
  dysfunctions\, it is necessary to combine multiple scales of observation 
 and related disciplines\, from the molecular level in genetics to the beha
 vioural level in psychology. In psychiatry\, diagnosis\, prognostic evalua
 tion and choice of treatment thus require the integration of multiple piec
 es of information and their temporal evolution\, particularly for neurodev
 elopmental disorders. In this presentation\, I will argue that recent adva
 nces in integrative neuroscience and computational biology finally provide
  all the conceptual and methodological tools to encompass these multiple s
 cales and thus develop the necessary social physiology for precision psych
 iatry. About integrative neuroscience\, I will describe how recent efforts
  in human-human and human-machine interaction have brought more ecological
  paradigms to the laboratory for the study of human social cognition and i
 ts physiological anchoring. Concerning computational biology\, I will pres
 ent how large longitudinal cohorts can achieve the deep genotyping and phe
 notyping necessary for modern artificial intelligence tools to move beyond
  the traditional patient-to-control dichotomy to stratification methods or
  more dimensional models (e.g. RDoC). In conclusion\, I will propose ways 
 to integrate these two approaches in computational psychiatry.\n\nShort bi
 ography: Guillaume Dumas is a research fellow in the neuroscience departme
 nt of the Institut Pasteur and coordinates the Social Neuroscience for The
 rapeutic Approaches in Autism (SoNeTAA) platform in the child psychiatry d
 epartment of the Robert Debré Hospital. His research combines human-human
  and human-machine interactions with neuroimaging and bioinformatics to st
 udy our biological\, behavioural\, and social dynamics. He is also involve
 d in numerous projects at the interface between science and society\, in p
 articular through the advocacy of open science in political and research i
 nstitutions (co-founder of HackYourPhD) and the defence of citizens' right
 s  (invited expert at the UN).\n
