What we do
A new era of technology and data collection is revolutionizing how we understand the mind and behavior in both industry and academia.
Cognition, Behavior, and Information (CBI) is a new interdisciplinary research collaborative at Arizona State University focused on gaining psychologically-grounded insights from large-scale naturally occurring and experimentally collected data, and using cutting-edge quantitative methods to draw causal inferences about real-world problems.
CBI administers the Behavioral Data Science (BDS) graduate programs (MS degree and graduate certificate), which equip students with advanced technical skills for studying human behavior. Our BDS curriculum combines a rigorous foundation in the theory of cognitive and behavioral science with hands-on training in coding, predictive modeling, and science communication, preparing graduates for research-focused careers across industry and academia.
