Vincent Taschereau-Dumouchel
Biography
Vincent Taschereau-Dumouchel is a neuropsychologist working at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, mental health, and artificial intelligence.
Based in the Department of Psychology at the Université de Montréal, his research combines AI and cognitive neuroscience to deepen our understanding of mental disorders and improve their treatment. His laboratory focuses particularly on conscious pathological experiences that underlie conditions such as fear and anxiety disorders.
His team specializes in developing closed-loop brain imaging systems that integrate real-time neuroimaging with machine learning. He currently leads projects funded by NSERC (Discovery Grant) to create co-adaptive systems using generative AI to modulate brain activity and subjective experience. He also leads projects to better study the subjective experience of delusion, fear and anxiety using large language models and intensive fMRI (notably funded by Beneva).
In parallel, Dr. Taschereau-Dumouchel serves as Director of the Data Valorisation axis of the Quebec Mental Health Alliance, an initiative uniting the three main FRQ-affiliated psychiatric research centers (CR-IUSMM, Douglas, and Cervo). They are currently leading efforts to federate clinical data across institutions and to develop accessible AI tools for researchers and clinicians.
