SCIENCE

The Integrated Science Lab seeks to develop collaborative design methods that enable creative designers, cognitive scientists, and technology developers to work together on the design of advanced visual analytics and decision intelligence systems. Our integrated science approach advances the science of human cognition by testing visually-enabled reasoning in interactive graphical information environments. Our application work draws on theory and methods from distributed cognition, visual cognition, and cognitive anthopology to design interactive graphical decision support systems for applications in health, safety, and food systems... Analysis and decision-making in today's highly complex environment often requires the consensus of multiple stakeholders with different perspectives and areas of expertise working with massive datasets. This is as true for technology design teams as it is for decision-makers in organizations and society. The integrated science lab is developing..
