Cognitive Cyber Nexus

The Cognitive Cyber Nexus (CCN) Task Force is exploring how human cognition, cyber systems, and physical environments can integrate and interact. Tulane’s interdisciplinary strengths in neuroscience, engineering, psychology, and natural sciences, along with its expertise in mammalian and primate research, position SSE to lead in pioneering advancements that merge cognition and machine. This initiative asks the question: how can our brains, computers, and machines work together seamlessly?

" Can we better integrate brain, AI, and machines to help individuals with neurological disorders live better lives? Tulane’s interdisciplinary strengths in neuroscience, engineering, psychology, and natural sciences, along with its expertise in mammalian and primate research, position SSE to lead in pioneering advancements that merge cognition and machine.
