Machine Learning and applied Artificial Intelligence in cognitive sciences and pyschology: a tutorial

Artificial Intelligence (AI) both in general and in its current predominant version, mostly based on connectionist tenets, lives in the paradox of aiming to reproduce and simulate the workings of an immensely complex system, the biological brain, which are still to a large extent unknown.This gives us latitude for some interesting domain interplay: concepts from the cognitive sciences can be used to improve AI models, while AI can be used in data science mode to analyze cognitive processes in neuroscience, as well as brain pathologies from a medical standpoint.
