"Cognitive Science and Applications for National Security"

When you need new ideas to address the human side of your problems, connect with the Cognitive Science and Applications group at Sandia National Laboratories. We have the research advantages of a university, plus the engineering skills to move you from new ideas to a working prototype.

We utilize a multi-million dollar investment in technology and science to understand and solve many different dimensions of the human side of your most critical problems. Our multi-disciplinary team approaches problems in the cognitive systems arena in a way that no one else does (see figure of Sandia's Cognitive Architecture below).

The Cognitive Science and Applications Group can work at all levels of government classification. Consider us when you need to integrate with your partners and tie their work into national security problems; our partners employ us in a wide range of roles, from technology providers to systems integrators to independent third-party evaluators. When your project can benefit from modeling of human thought processes, talk with the Cognitive Science and Applications group at Sandia.


What is a Cognitive System?
A “Cognitive System” is one that uses psychologically plausible computational representations of human cognitive processes as a basis for system designs that seek to engage the underlying mechanisms of human cognition and augment the cognitive capacities of human users, not unlike a “cognitive prosthesis.”
