Biography

Hélio Clemente José Cuve is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychological Science at the University of Bristol. His research interests focus on exploring social emotional processes and understanding human experience, behavior, and social interaction. Cuve's work encompasses experimental methodology and the development and application of data-driven, theoretically informed modeling approaches to address relevant questions in his field. He has a recent focus on multimodal measurement of emotion, visual social attention, and non-verbal social communication. His research emphasizes understanding the role of clinical and subclinical conditions in these processes, particularly in relation to Autism and Alexithymia. Ongoing areas of focus include modeling 'degeneracy' in emotional responses, which refers to the many-to-one and one-to-many relationships between behavior, physiology, and subjective affective experience. Cuve is also interested in processing non-verbal behavior in digital content such as deepfakes, and he explores potential intersections of his work with Human-Computer Interaction, robotics, and immersive technologies in digital healthcare.
