The goal of the CPU group (Cognition, Perception, Use) is to conduct pluridisciplinary research with the joint perspective from Psychology, Ergonomics and Computer Science in order to address research questions about (or that can be useful for) the design or evaluation of Human-Computer Interaction.

Members of the group include two professors in Computer Science, four associate professors in Psychology (including one in Ergonomics), 2 CNRS Emeritus Directors of Research, and one research engineer. Day to day interactions between researchers from these disciplines are thus supported, for example for co-supervising PhD students and for working together on joint collaborative projects.
