About
Mathilde Marie Duville is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neuroscience, affective computing, and assistive technology. Her work focuses on understanding and improving socio-emotional processing in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), particularly through non-pharmacological interventions. Duville’s major contributions include using electroencephalography (EEG) to identify neural correlates of emotional speech processing in autistic children, specifically within the understudied context of Mexican Spanish. Her 2021 study, cited 8 times, demonstrated how autistic children’s brains respond to emotional prosodies, laying groundwork for targeted therapies. She further advanced this by integrating Social Stories™ with NAO social robot interactions, a drug-free intervention detailed in her 2020 paper (5 citations). This innovative approach combines behavioral storytelling with humanoid robotics to enhance emotional recognition and social skills. Duville’s work is notable for its cultural specificity—addressing a gap in Spanish-language ASD research—and its translational potential, bridging basic neuroscience with practical, scalable interventions. Her research not only deepens our understanding of ASD but also offers tangible tools for educators and clinicians, making her a rising voice in neurodevelopmental and human-robot interaction fields.
