Rui da Silva Neves is a Lecturer affiliated with the Cognition, Languages, Language, Ergonomie (CLLE-LTC) at Université Toulouse 2, with additional ties to institutions like École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE) and Université Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL). His research focuses on causality and explanation, non-monotonic inference, and cognitive regulation of affect.

• Causality and transitivity in human perception
• Applications of non-monotonic reasoning to causal ascription
• Interdisciplinary work bridging cognitive science and artificial intelligence

His publications in journals like Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence and conferences such as SUM 2008 explore formal frameworks for causation, contrasting probabilistic and qualitative models, with empirical support from behavioral experiments. Notable contributions include analyzing Markov conditions and saliency criteria for transitivity.
