Project Cosimo
COSIMO is a browser-based screening tool for social cognition, developed collaboratively by the Swiss Epilepsy Centre and the University of Zurich. It is designed for clinical use, offering a quick, demographically diverse, and ecologically valid assessment. The tool screens for impairments in social cognition, which can be affected by various neurological and psychiatric disorders. COSIMO works by presenting short, muted video clips of interactions and asking users to identify emotions. Clinicians can obtain detailed results, including percentile ranks and z-scores, for diagnostic purposes. The project is currently in phase IV, focused on collecting norm data and validating the test. The tool is available free of charge for clinical use, with plans for research and commercial applications.
