We study human cognition and decision making using large-scale behavioral data, machine learning, and cognitive modeling to build better scientific theories of behavior.
The Data Science of the Mind Lab is led by Dr. Joshua Peterson in the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University.
Complex Decision Making
We study how human decision making depends on context, complexity, and the structure of the environment.
Data-Driven Discovery
We use large datasets, machine learning, and AI as tools to help build better scientific theories of cognition and behavior.
Computational Foundations
We study the computational foundations of cognition, including how human minds relate to and differ from ML/AI systems.
