Introduction:
The field of psychological science continually evolves as new research findings emerge and our understanding of human behavior deepens. To facilitate the integration and organization of this expanding knowledge, ontologies have become valuable tools. In this keynote address, we explore the use of ontologies in psychological science and their role in integrating knowledge for a comprehensive understanding of human psychology.

Keynote speaker: Susan Michie, University College London, United Kingdom
Psychological science has a crucial role to play in addressing the challenges facing humanity. Its vast and rapidly growing body of evidence can inform the development of interventions to improve well-being, but a lack of consistent and shared terminology hampers evidence integration and knowledge advancement. “Ontologies” provide a shared scientific vocabulary for reporting research findings, readable by both humans and computers, enabling automated knowledge synthesis, outcome prediction, and inference across contexts.
In her talk, Michie presents the “Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology,” which has the potential to dramatically enhance evidence integration and knowledge development using hybrid human-computer systems, thereby accelerating scientific advancements.
Michie’s talk presents the “Behavioural Change Intervention Ontology,” a tool that can be used to improve evidence integration, knowledge development, and hybrid human-computer systems.

Keynote Address: Blood, Sweat, and Tears: Human Social Chemosignaling in Health and Disease
Noam Sobel describes his findings on mechanisms of human chemosignaling in both health and disease. Based on these findings, he argues that, in contrast to common notions, humans are highly olfactory animals, and body-odors dominate our social behavior.
