Albert Barqué-Duran, PhD, is a cognitive scientist, AI researcher, and artist exploring Expanded Cognition, Creativity and Ethics across Human-Machine Intelligence. Currently, he works as a Principal Investigator at the IASlab (Interactive Arts & Science Lab) at La Salle Barcelona (Ramon Llull University), where he coordinates the Graduate Programs (PhD & MSc) in Digital Arts & Creative Technologies.

Albert holds a PhD in Cognitive Science from the Centre for Mathematical Neuroscience at City St George’s, University of London, and have held postdoctoral and visiting research appointments at the Moral Cognition Lab (Harvard University) and the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics (University of Oxford). He has also held a Lecturer position in Human-Computer Interaction at University of Lleida. With over 20 publications in leading journals, his academic trajectory has focused on probabilistic reasoning and behaviour, decision theory, computational cognition, and moral psychology/philosophy – providing both theoretical and empirical insights into the architectures of human and artificial intelligence. In parallel, he leads experimental artistic research practices and cultural programs (immersive installations, performances, creative technologies, aesthetic experiences) to address speculative questions on creative agency and alignment, altered perception and extended cognition in Human–AI interactions.

Albert's work has been presented at leading cognitive science conferences, AI congresses, contemporary art and science museums, technology festivals and biennales worldwide (e.g., SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS, Ars Electronica, Sónar+D, ISEA, MUTEK, ZKM), and recognized by awards from the ‘Creative Europe Program’ (which named me one of the most impactful “Culture Activists” in Europe), the 'Runway 2026 New Media Grand Prize', the ‘Re:Humanism’ Prize, the British Psychological Society Award, the Art of Neuroscience, and the 'Ojo Crítico' Award (as a pioneer in Digital Culture), among others.
