R. Cowie

R. Cowie is a Professor of psychology at Queen’s University, Belfast, Ireland. He studied philosophy and psychology as an undergraduate and received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Sussex in 1981 on relationships between human and machine vision. His enduring interest is the relationship between subjective experience and models of human cognition based on "rational reconstruction," particularly computational models. He has pursued it in diverse areas, including "impossible objects," picture perception, music, and the subjective experience of deafness. Collaborations with Prof E Douglas-Cowie led to sustained interest in the information stating that the speech conveys the speaker. Recently, he has focused on emotion-oriented computing through a series of projects funded by the European Union. Cowie has authored or edited 10 collections and over 100 refereed articles, including several landmark publications such as special issues on emotion-related research in Speech Communication (2003) and Neural Networks (2005). He is President of the Humaine Association for emotion-oriented computing.
