Olivier Capra is a research scientist and PhD in Human-Computer Interaction with a decade of experience exploring perception and attributed agency in digital interactions. Based in Lille, France, he combines cognitive science rigor with computer science methods to study how users perceive and assign agency to interactive systems. His academic path—from a master’s in cognitive science to a PhD and further university work—reflects deep interdisciplinary training and a focus on human-centered design. Olivier’s profile suggests he bridges experimental research and practical application, bringing nuanced insights about human perception to software and interface development. Notably, his work foregrounds subtle cognitive attributions that often go unnoticed in typical UX research, informing more persuasive and ethical interaction designs.
