*************************************************** On the wake of the finalisation of the European flagship Human Brain Project and similar initiatives around the world, it has become clear that Cognitive Science has become a data-centric endeavour. Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary research field comprising neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and philosophy. In particular, mental health is an important topic both for Cognitive Science and Healthcare.  Data-based approaches stemming from Artificial Intelligence and particularly from Machine Learning are important tools in the pursuit of personalized medicine goals as means for improvement in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. In the medical domain in general, both the trustworthiness of models and the explainability of methods are relevant for the adoption of such machine learning-based approaches in clinical diagnosis and treatment. This session will consider developments in the field of applied Artificial Intelligence for Cognitive Science, with a focus on medical applications. Topics of interest are, among others:  - Neuroscience - Psychology and Psychiatry - Neurodegenerative diseases - Linguistics - Philosophy - Artificial Intelligence applications for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cognitive impairments and pathologies. - Patient cohort analysis.  - Interpretable and explainable artificial intelligence methods in Cognitive Science.   - Personalized medicine. - Artificial Intelligence–based medical devices regulation.
