PABLO ARIAS SARAH

I'm Pablo Arias Sarah, a CNRS Research Scientist (equivalent to Assistant Professor) working in the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), in the Psychology and Neurocognition Laboratory in the Université Grenoble Alpes in Grenoble, France. I study human social interaction mechanisms using real time voice/face transformations. To do this, we developed a videoconference experimental platform called DuckSoup which enables researchers to transform participants' voice and face (e.g. increase participants' smiles or their vocal intonations) in real time during free social interactions. We use these paradigms to study social cognition (e.g. social biases, social alignment).

I hold a a PhD in cognitive science from Sorbonne University, a Master of Engineering in digital technologies and multimedia from Polytech' Nantes, and a Master of Science in acoustics, signal processing and computer science applied to sound, from IRCAM. Previously, I worked at IRCAM, Lund University and Glasgow University.
